Subject: [PATCH v2] tpm: Initialize name_size_alg for non-NULL name in tpm_buf_append_name()
Date: Sun, 10 May 2026 17:11:27 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260510171152.4607-1-gunnarku@amazon.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <af_imAiZEQ7WEe5W@kernel.org>

tpm_buf_append_name() supports callers passing a pre-computed name
for handles. When name is non-NULL, the code skips the
tpm2_read_public() path but leaves name_size_alg uninitialized
before it is used as the memcpy size argument.

No current in-tree caller passes a non-NULL name, but future use
cases such as name caching would exercise this path. Initialize
name_size_alg by calling name_size() on the caller-provided name,
sharing the error check and assignment with the existing
tpm2_read_public() path. This prevents unmasking a latent bug when
the non-NULL name path is eventually used.
