[PATCH 1/1] efi/libstub: tpm: zero initialize pointer variables for mixed mode

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

 



As reported by Jeremy, running the new TPM libstub code in mixed mode
(i.e., 64-bit kernel on 32-bit UEFI) results in hangs when invoking
the TCG2 protocol, or when accessing the log_tbl pool allocation.

The reason turns out to be that in both cases, the 64-bit pointer
variables are not fully initialized by the 32-bit EFI code, and so
we should take care to zero initialize these variables beforehand,
or we'll end up dereferencing bogus pointers.
