This was only a simple example, it will fail with other values as well. Just add 8 to both size fields and append 8 null bytes, and you will pass the length check in tpm_transmit but still have incorrect data. Also, it is probably no good style to omit checks for obvious errors, just because an unrelated check in a completely different location also happens to catch the problem under some circumstances. tpm_common_write discards the relevant information (in_size), so all other parts of the code need to be able to rely on it to have validated it properly. > > 2.

What is the legit case to send extra bytes? For me: testing that my TPM implementation behaves correctly :) I can run the same test cases against the TPM using the Linux driver and several other, unrelated means. I'd like to avoid having special cases for communication paths in there, just because in one case I have a more direct channel to the TPM whereas in the other the Linux driver interferes with the communication and rejects the data before the TPM sees it. For "normal" usage from Linux applications this is not relevant, but it does not break anything either. I've just noticed that the v2 patch is broken, because the code incorrectly tries to access data from user space. Interestingly, the tests worked fine on x86_64 and aarch64, only armv7l was broken (and that result somehow got lost, so I assumed that the patch was fine). I'll send a fixed patch soon. Alexander
