Subject: [ 46/75] efi: Validate UEFI boot variables
Date: Fri, 04 May 2012 13:43:10 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120504204228.302668175@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120504204258.GA12552@kroah.com>
3.3-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Matthew Garrett <mjg@redhat.com>
commit fec6c20b570bcf541e581fc97f2e0cbdb9725b98 upstream.
A common flaw in UEFI systems is a refusal to POST triggered by a malformed
boot variable. Once in this state, machines may only be restored by
reflashing their firmware with an external hardware device. While this is
obviously a firmware bug, the serious nature of the outcome suggests that
operating systems should filter their variable writes in order to prevent
a malicious user from rendering the machine unusable.
