[PATCH 1/2 v2] efivarfs: Validate filenames much more aggressively

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

 



The only thing that efivarfs does to enforce a valid filename is
ensure that the name isn't too short. We need to strongly sanitise any
filenames, not least because variable creation is delayed until
efivarfs_file_write(), which means we can't rely on the firmware to
inform us of an invalid name, because if the file is never written to
we'll never know it's invalid.

Perform a couple of steps before agreeing to create a new file,

  * Ensure the GUID only contains hexadecimal digits and dashes.

  * Ensure that the GUID portion of the filename is the correct length
    and format.

  * The variable name portion of the filename needs to be at least one
    character in size.

v2: Use Al's much improve filename parsing code and make
    efivarfs_valid_name() return the more natural boolean type.
