Subject: [PATCH 4.14] efi: random: Properly limit the size of the random seed
Date: Thu, 1 Dec 2022 00:47:22 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Y4frikbdKtF5V1WU@decadent.org.uk> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1514 bytes --]

Commit be36f9e7517e ("efi: READ_ONCE rng seed size before munmap")
added a READ_ONCE() and also changed the call to
add_bootloader_randomness() to use the local size variable.  Neither
of these changes was actually needed and this was not backported to
the 4.14 stable branch.

Commit 161a438d730d ("efi: random: reduce seed size to 32 bytes")
reverted the addition of READ_ONCE() and added a limit to the value of
size.  This depends on the earlier commit, because size can now differ
from seed->size, but it was wrongly backported to the 4.14 stable
branch by itself.

Apply the missing change to the add_bootloader_randomness() parameter
(except that here we are still using add_device_randomness()).

Fixes: 700485f70e50 ("efi: random: reduce seed size to 32 bytes")
