In amdgpu_read_bios_from_rom(), the header of the VBIOS is firstly copied
to 'header' from an IO memory region through
amdgpu_asic_read_bios_from_rom(). Then the header is checked to see whether
it is a valid header. If yes, the whole VBIOS, including the header, is
then copied to 'adev->bios'. The problem here is that no check is enforced
on the header after the second copy. Given that the device also has the
permission to access the IO memory region, it is possible for a malicious
device controlled by an attacker to modify the header between these two
copies. By doing so, the attacker can supply compromised VBIOS, which can
cause undefined behavior of the kernel and introduce potential security
issues.
This patch rewrites the header in 'adev->bios' using the header acquired in
the first copy.
