Subject: [PATCH 4/4] ACPI: APEI: GHES: Validate CXL protocol error section length before RAS cap copy
Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2026 09:28:07 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260709162807.1957783-5-dave.jiang@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260709162807.1957783-1-dave.jiang@intel.com>
cxl_cper_setup_prot_err_work_data() locates the RAS Capability block by
skipping a firmware-controlled DVSEC:
dvsec_start = (u8 *)(prot_err + 1);
cap_start = dvsec_start + prot_err->dvsec_len;
memcpy(&wd->ras_cap, cap_start, sizeof(wd->ras_cap));
prot_err->dvsec_len is taken from the CPER section and is never validated.
Add the check to cxl_cper_sec_prot_err_valid() to enforce the check and
avoid copying out of bounds.
