[PATCH] hwrng: core - Add WARN_ON for buggy read return values

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

 



Dear TPM maintainers:

Please have a look at the tpm hwrng driver because it appears to
be returning a length longer than the buffer length that we gave
it.  In particular, tpm2 appears to be the culprit (though I didn't
really check tpm1 at all so it could also be buggy).

The following patch hopefully should confirm that this is indeed
caused by TPM and not some other HWRNG driver.

---8<---
If a buggy driver returns a length that is longer than the size
of the buffer provided to it, then this may lead to a buffer overread
in the caller.

Stop this by adding a check for it in the hwrng core.
