[PATCH v2 1/2] acpi/apei: Fix possible out-of-bounds access to BERT region

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

 



Check that the length recorded in the generic error status block is
within the region before checking the contents of the region itself.
Otherwise it may result in an out-of-bounds access if the system
firmware has generated a status block with an invalid length (larger
than the mapped region). Also move the block_status check so that it
only happens after the block has been verified to be within the mapped
region.
