[PATCH] tools/bootconfig: Fix integer overflow in size check

["Masami Hiramatsu (Google)" <mhiramat@kernel.org>]

From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

Sashiko reported that on 32-bit systems, if the size in the bootconfig
footer is corrupted such that adding BOOTCONFIG_FOOTER_SIZE wraps
around (for instance, if size is 0xFFFFFFFF), the size check in
load_xbc_from_initrd() can be bypassed:

    if (stat.st_size < size + BOOTCONFIG_FOOTER_SIZE) {
        pr_err("bootconfig size is too big\n");
        return -E2BIG;
    }

This would lead to load_xbc_fd() being called with a negative size,
resulting in an undersized allocation, heap overflow on read, and
out-of-bounds write on the terminating null byte.

Avoid the integer overflow by checking whether size is greater than
stat.st_size - BOOTCONFIG_FOOTER_SIZE. Since stat.st_size is already
verified to be at least BOOTCONFIG_FOOTER_SIZE earlier in the function,
this subtraction will never underflow.
