[PATCH 2/2] efi/cper: Avoid possible OOB when checking generic data block

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

 



When checking a generic status block, we iterate over all the generic
data blocks. The loop condition only checks that the start of the
generic data block is valid (within estatus->data_length) but not the
whole block. Because the size of data blocks (excluding error data) may
vary depending on the revision and the revision is contained within the
data block, ensure that enough of the current data block is valid before
dereferencing any members otherwise an OOB access may occur if
estatus->data_length is invalid. This relies on the fact that
struct acpi_hest_generic_data_v300 is a superset of the earlier version.
Also rework the other checks to avoid potential underflow.
