Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] RAS: Fix inverted context info bounds check in ARM processor errors
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 21:43:22 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260825134323.4181892-2-liuwenliang@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260825134323.4181892-1-liuwenliang@huawei.com>
Commit 87880af2d24e ("APEI/GHES: ARM processor Error: don't go past
allocated memory") added bounds checks for malformed ARM processor
error records but contained a bug:
In log_arm_hw_error(), the ctx_info bounds check is inverted. The
condition `sz + (long)ctx_info - (long)err >= err->section_length`
adds ctx_info->size when the context header is already past the end
of the section instead of when it is within bounds. So change the
comparison to <=.
Fixes: 87880af2d24e ("APEI/GHES: ARM processor Error: don't go past allocated memory")
