Subject: [PATCH 1/1] armv8: sec_firmware: validate loadables string list
Date: Sat, 23 May 2026 12:18:00 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260523121801.9235-2-josh2@disroot.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260523121801.9235-1-josh2@disroot.org>
sec_firmware_check_copy_loadable() walks the loadables property by hand
and treats each entry as a C string. If a malformed property is missing
the trailing NUL inside its length, strchr() can read past the property
while looking for the end of the entry.
Use libfdt string list helpers for the walk. Missing loadables still
means there is nothing to copy, and malformed loadables now fail before
use.
