Some comments on tpm2_pcr_read below.

The tpm2_pcr_read function uses TPM2_ST_NO_SESSIONS. This means that the response payload is not integrity protected with an HMAC. If there is a man-in-the-middle sitting on the serial bus that connects the TPM peripheral to the processor, they can tamper with the response parameters.

In your changes to tpm2_pcr_read, the memcpy is now become a variable-length operation, instead of just copying a fixed number of bytes. If the MITM modifies the response field out->digest_size before it is received by the driver, they can make it a very large value, forcing a buffer overflow of the out->digest array.

Adding a session to the PCR Read command seems like overkill in this case. I wouldn’t recommend that as a solution here.  So to fix this I would suggest simply checking the digest size before the memcpy.

Hi Jeremy

ok, thanks.
