Subject: [PATCH v4 1/3] RAS: Fix inverted context info bounds check in ARM processor errors
Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2026 19:28:30 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260909112832.805314-2-liuwenliang@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260909112832.805314-1-liuwenliang@huawei.com>
Commit 87880af2d24e ("APEI/GHES: ARM processor Error: don't go past
allocated memory") added bounds checks for malformed ARM processor
error records but contained a bug:
In log_arm_hw_error(), the ctx_info bounds check is inverted. The
condition "sz + (long)ctx_info - (long)err >= err->section_length"
adds ctx_info->size when the context header is already past the end
of the section instead of when it is within bounds. So change the
comparison to <=.
Fixes: 87880af2d24e ("APEI/GHES: ARM processor Error: don't go past allocated memory")
