[PATCH 1/2] acpi/apei: Avoid possible OOB when accessing 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 OOB 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.
