Subject: [PATCH v2] char: tpm: tpm-buf: Add sanity check fallback in read helpers
Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2025 16:04:42 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250410103442.17746-1-purvayeshi550@gmail.com> (raw)
Fix Smatch-detected issue:
drivers/char/tpm/tpm-buf.c:208 tpm_buf_read_u8() error:
uninitialized symbol 'value'.
drivers/char/tpm/tpm-buf.c:225 tpm_buf_read_u16() error:
uninitialized symbol 'value'.
drivers/char/tpm/tpm-buf.c:242 tpm_buf_read_u32() error:
uninitialized symbol 'value'.
Zero-initialize the return values in tpm_buf_read_u8(),
tpm_buf_read_u16(), and tpm_buf_read_u32() to guard against
uninitialized data in case of a boundary overflow.
Add defensive initialization ensures the return values are
always defined, preventing undefined behavior if the unexpected
happens.
