How does that occur? In efivarfs_callback() [fs/efivarfs/super.c], we have
len = ucs2_utf8size(entry->var.VariableName);
/* name, plus '-', plus GUID, plus NUL*/
name = kmalloc(len + 1 + EFI_VARIABLE_GUID_LEN + 1, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!name)
goto fail;
ucs2_as_utf8(name, entry->var.VariableName, len);
Instead, I think the following might be happening (note that RIP points
into efivar_variable_is_removable(), and I guess variable_matches()
(which is static) is inlined):
efivarfs_callback() [fs/efivarfs/super.c]
efivar_variable_is_removable() [drivers/firmware/efi/vars.c]
variable_matches() [drivers/firmware/efi/vars.c]
The bug seems to be in variable_matches(), which doesn't consider the
"len" parameter early enough. Namely, consider that we have the
following input:
- var_name: "a"
- len: 1
- match_name "ab"
In the first iteration of the loop (i.e., *match == 0):
- c = 'a'
- u = 'a'
- *match gets incremented to 1.
In the second iteration of the loop (i.e., *match == 1):
- c = 'b'
- u = <indeterminate value> (that is, undefined behavior),
because (*match == len).
This seems to be consistent with the error message "Caught 8-bit read
from uninitialized memory": namely, the array allocated for "name" in
efivarfs_callback() is indeed not pre-zeroed, and the ucs2_as_utf8()
function does not populate name[len] -- correctly, I would say.
So, I think the function that needs a fix is variable_matches().
(I don't disagree though that it could be useful to audit all
ucs2_as_utf8() calls.)
Thanks
