Subject: [PATCH 4/4] x86/microcode_amd: Fail attempts to load a 0-length microcode blob.
Date: Tue, 24 Sep 2013 13:10:38 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1380024638-14983-5-git-send-email-andrew.cooper3@citrix.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1380024638-14983-1-git-send-email-andrew.cooper3@citrix.com>
Coverity ID: 1055319
Coverity identified that when passed a microcode header with a length field of
0, get_ucode_from_buffer_amd() would end up calling memcpy(NULL, data, 0)
which is undefined behaviour.
While Xen's implementation of memcpy will do the correct thing in this case,
any user trying to load a 0 length microcode blob deserves an -EINVAL.
