[PATCH v2] platform/x86: hp-wmi: fix heap OOB read and memory corruption in hp_wmi_perform_query()

[Muhammad Bilal]

hp_wmi_perform_query() evaluates an ACPI WMI method and expects a
struct bios_return header in the returned buffer. However, it only
checks that the ACPI object type is ACPI_TYPE_BUFFER without verifying
that obj->buffer.length is at least sizeof(*bios_return) (8 bytes).

If the firmware or ACPI method returns a buffer shorter than 8 bytes:

1. bios_return->return_code at offset 4 reads out of bounds from the
   allocated ACPI buffer slab.

2. If return_code evaluates to 0 and outsize is non-zero,
   (int)(obj->buffer.length - sizeof(*bios_return)) evaluates to a
   negative integer (e.g. -8 for a 0-length buffer). actual_outsize is
   set to this negative value and passed to memcpy(buffer, ...,
   actual_outsize), where the signed negative value is cast to
   size_t (e.g. 0xfffffffffffffff8), attempting to copy ~18 Exabytes
   and triggering an immediate kernel crash. Additionally,
   memset(buffer + actual_outsize, ...) performs an out-of-bounds
   write before buffer.

Fix this by ensuring obj->buffer.length is at least sizeof(*bios_return)
before accessing the return code, and compute actual_outsize safely
using min_t(u32, ...), which is sound specifically because the guard
above already rules out obj->buffer.length being smaller than
sizeof(*bios_return) by the time that subtraction runs.

v2: Rebased onto current platform-drivers-x86.git 'fixes' (confirmed
    matching current mainline, blob b2773fc1aca414792b99406315496a2c3a64dd06).
    v1 was diffed against a stale local copy of hp-wmi.c that predated
    a batch of unrelated upstream changes (GPU MUX switch support, new
    OMEN/Victus board IDs), so its hunks no longer applied. The fix
    itself is unchanged, only the base and line numbers moved. Also
    correcting the recipient list: Hans de Goede's address is
    hdegoede@redhat.com, not hansg@kernel.org as v1 had it.
