--- Comment #7 from Stefan Berger (stefanb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) ---
The attached parsed contents (comment 1 attachment) of
/sys/kernel/security/tpm0/binary_bios_measurements are 476kb. I cannot say how
much this file would be in its binary version but I would think it would only
be like 10% of it, so like 45kb since the parsed contents also display whole
certificate chains. I don't see why 45kb should be an issue.

Can you attach the plain binary file?

4MB would be excessive and I think would hint at a buggy BIOS. We should never
allocate that much memory for the BIOS log.
