Subject: [PATCH] block/partitions/efi.c: ensure that the GPT header is at least the size of the structure.
Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2013 09:37:01 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1361371021-583-2-git-send-email-pjones@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1361371021-583-1-git-send-email-pjones@redhat.com>
UEFI 2.3.1D will include a change to the spec language mandating that a
GPT header must be greater than *or equal to* the size of the defined
structure. While verifying that this would work on Linux, I discovered
that we're not actually checking the minimum bound at all.
The result of this is that when we verify the checksum, it's possible that
on a malformed header (with header_size of 0), we won't actually verify
any data.
