Subject: [PATCH 03/10] efi_loader: reject a PE section whose end wraps around
Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2026 06:13:56 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5b986292-b889-4e1e-9e0f-9012ea225366@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <633dddd6-ee22-4cd6-a8b6-cb7df0650fae@gmail.com>

From: Ana Bobillo <anabobillo3@gmail.com>

efi_load_pe() computes the end of each section as the sum of its
VirtualAddress and its size, both u32, so the sum wraps around before it
is widened to unsigned long. A section near 4 GiB then yields a small
virt_size, and the memset() and memcpy() of the section write far past
the allocated image.

Relative virtual addresses are 32 bit, so reject a section whose end
does not fit into 32 bits. barebox, whose EFI loader is based on this
file, fixed the same in b6598389d46d ("efi: loader: fix integer overflow
in PE virt_size calculation").

This runs before the image is rejected when Secure Boot fails to verify
it.

Fixes: cb149c66342c ("efi_loader: Add PE image loader")
