[PATCH v2 2/2] libfdt: Check that the root-node name is empty

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



The root node is supposed to have an empty name, but at present this is
not checked. The behaviour of such a tree is not well defined. Most
software rightly assumes that the root node is at offset 0 and does not
check the name. This oddity was discovered as part of a security
investigation into U-Boot verified boot.

Add a check for this to fdt_check_full().
