Subject: [PATCH v2 6/9] platform/x86: hp-bioscfg: add missing bounds check in PSWD_ENCODINGS loop
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 16:18:26 +0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260812111829.172273-7-meatuni001@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260812111829.172273-1-meatuni001@gmail.com>
The PREREQUISITES loop earlier in the same function checks
"elem + reqs" against password_obj_count before indexing the ACPI
package element array:
if (elem + reqs >= password_obj_count) {
pr_err("Error elem-objects package is too small\n");
return -EINVAL;
}
The PSWD_ENCODINGS loop performs the identical indexing pattern,
password_obj[elem + pos_values], with no equivalent check, causing an
out-of-bounds read of the package element array whenever
encodings_size is larger than the number of elements actually present.
Fix by adding the same bounds check, matching PREREQUISITES.
Fixes: 8646a3b5ee3a ("platform/x86: hp-bioscfg: passwdobj-attributes")
