Hello, Ard, > Wouldn't it be easier to pass a var_data_size stack variable into > efivar_entry_get(), and only update the value in 'var' if it is <= > 1024? I have prepared a v2 patch with an approach you suggest and will send it out shortly. It indeed simpler and fixes only the overflow bug mentioned. Could you, please, review it and if you like it, probably, accept it? In case I've implemented your idea incorrectly, could you, please, correct me?
