Subject: [PATCH] tpm: Fix uninitialized name_size_alg in tpm_buf_append_name()
Date: Thu, 7 May 2026 20:18:22 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260507201837.8282-1-gunnarku@amazon.com> (raw)

When tpm_buf_append_name() is called with a non-NULL name for a
handle, the code skips the tpm2_read_public() path (which sets
name_size_alg from the return value) and falls through to memcpy()
with an uninitialized name_size_alg as the size argument.

The contract for tpm_buf_append_name() supports callers passing a
non-NULL name. No current in-tree callers do so, making this a latent
bug that would trigger if a caller ever provides a pre-computed name
for a handle.

Fix this by restructuring the if/else to call name_size() when name
is provided, sharing the error check and name_size_alg assignment
with the existing tpm2_read_public() path. This restores the type of
validation that existed before commit bda1cbf73c6e ("tpm2-sessions:
Fix tpm2_read_public range checks") refactored the function.

Tested with KASAN by assigning 0xDEAD to name_size_alg to simulate an
undefined initial value. Calling tpm_buf_append_name() with a non-NULL
value for name results in the following warnings from KASAN:

  BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in tpm_buf_append_name+0x1e0/0x680
  Read of size 57005 at addr ffff80009e5e79f0 by task sh/49616

  Call trace:
   show_stack+0x34/0xa0 (C)
   dump_stack_lvl+0x5c/0x80
   print_report+0x160/0x4b8
   kasan_report+0x7c/0xd0
   kasan_check_range+0xe8/0x190
   __asan_memcpy+0x3c/0xa0
   tpm_buf_append_name+0x1e0/0x680
   run_test.isra.0+0x14c/0x1d8

There are no KASAN errors with the fix applied, and the function
behaves as expected.
