Subject: [PATCH 2/4] ACPI: APEI: GHES: Bound CXL event record copy to the firmware section length
Date: Thu,  9 Jul 2026 09:28:05 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260709162807.1957783-3-dave.jiang@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260709162807.1957783-1-dave.jiang@intel.com>

cxl_cper_post_event() blindly copies a fixed
sizeof(struct cxl_cper_event_rec) out of the firmware-provided CPER
section without checking the length. Pass gdata->err_data_length into
the function and reject a section too small to hold the record before
the copy.
