Subject: [PATCH v4 8/9] platform/x86: hp-bioscfg: NUL-terminate the SPM auth token
Date: Sat,  3 Oct 2026 00:14:33 +0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261002191434.58529-9-meatuni001@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261002191434.58529-1-meatuni001@gmail.com>

auth_token_store() copies the token with kmemdup(), which does not NUL
terminate it, but hp_calculate_security_buffer() and
hp_populate_security_buffer() treat it as a C string and read past the
allocation.

A lone newline (echo > auth_token) is worse: kmemdup() of 0 bytes
returns ZERO_SIZE_PTR, which passes the NULL checks, so a later
attribute write calls strlen() on address 0x10.

Use kmemdup_nul(), which allocates one extra byte for the terminator
and never returns ZERO_SIZE_PTR.

Compile tested only.
