Subject: [PATCH v2 2/7] efi_loader: capsule: check the capsule header size
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2026 05:49:55 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <60ff1e72-dead-4ab8-a1a2-e6dfbac3dc91@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <ab256ba2-8572-4cda-b7da-45b2c0368beb@gmail.com>
From: Ana Bobillo <anabobillo3@gmail.com>
On the capsule on disk path, efi_capsule_update_firmware() is called
without the header checks of efi_update_capsule(). It only checks
header_size against the size of the FMP capsule header, so a
header_size smaller than struct efi_capsule_header is accepted, and the
empty capsules of the FWU multi bank update are handled before any
check at all: fwu_empty_capsule_process() reads the image GUID of an
accept capsule at header_size, which may lie anywhere after the
capsule.
Check that header_size covers the capsule header and lies within the
capsule before handling any capsule, and that an accept capsule holds
the image GUID.
Fixes: 8d99026f0697 ("efi_loader: capsule: support firmware update")
Fixes: 86794052418b ("FWU: Add support for the FWU Multi Bank Update feature")
