Subject: [PATCH] KEYS: trusted: Fix blob allocation size in tpm2_key_decode()
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 19:35:06 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260923173506.41519-1-sgarzare@redhat.com> (raw)

From: Stefano Garzarella <sgarzare@redhat.com>

tpm2_key_decode() allocates 4 bytes more than needed. The ASN.1
callbacks tpm2_key_priv() and tpm2_key_pub() provide the lengths
of TPM2B_PRIVATE and TPM2B_PUBLIC, so ctx.priv_len and ctx.pub_len
already account for the 2-byte `size` field each of those structures
starts with.

I noticed this while reviewing commit 114f00d738f1 ("KEYS: trusted:
Fix tpm2_load_cmd() boundary check"), which correctly reports
ctx.priv_len + ctx.pub_len as the decoded blob size [1].

Let's allocate exactly that amount, matching the data copied into
the blob.
