Subject: [PATCH 0/2] platform/x86: hp-bioscfg: fix OOB reads and buffer desynchronization in buffer parsers
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 03:56:08 +0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260824225610.18471-1-meatuni001@gmail.com> (raw)
This series addresses out-of-bounds reads and buffer accounting issues
in hp-bioscfg's WMI binary buffer parsers (hp_get_integer_from_buffer()
and hp_get_string_from_buffer()):
1. Patch 1 fixes an out-of-bounds read and buffer size desynchronization
in hp_get_integer_from_buffer() when reading integers from unaligned
buffer addresses where PTR_ALIGN introduces padding.
2. Patch 2 fixes two heap out-of-bounds reads (passing byte count instead
of wchar_t count to utf16s_to_utf8s(), and loop bound expansion in the
escape-counting loop), a 2-byte under-allocation check, and buffer
pointer/length desynchronization in hp_get_string_from_buffer().
Tested on HP hardware with CONFIG_KASAN=y.
