Subject: [PATCH v5 01/13] efi/cper: Reject CPER records with an out-of-range error_data_length
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2026 13:37:14 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260827203726.3027541-2-dave.jiang@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260827203726.3027541-1-dave.jiang@intel.com>
cper_estatus_check() sizes each section with acpi_hest_get_record_size(),
which adds the firmware-controlled u32 error_data_length to the header size
as a signed int (see <acpi/ghes.h>). A value in the top sizeof(*gdata)
bytes of the u32 range wraps the sum small rather than large, so it slips
past the "record_size > data_len" check: against the 72-byte v300 header,
0xffffffb9 sizes the record at 1 and acpi_hest_get_next() walks it a byte
at a time, off the end. 0xffffffb8 sizes it at 0 and loops forever.
Use check_add_overflow() to reject a sum that will not fit the int those
helpers return, since the walk advances by that value. That subsumes the
"acpi_hest_get_size(gdata) > data_len" test above it, because record_size
is never smaller than the header.
The later "len < sizeof(*foo)" guards rely on this per-section upper bound;
they are lower bounds only.

v5:
- Use check_add_overflow() rather than a u64 sum plus an INT_MAX test, and
drop the now-redundant acpi_hest_get_size() bound (Jonathan Cameron).
