Subject: [PATCH v4 7/9] platform/x86: hp-bioscfg: validate SPM state returned by firmware
Date: Sat, 3 Oct 2026 00:14:32 +0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261002191434.58529-8-meatuni001@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261002191434.58529-1-meatuni001@gmail.com>
status_show() and update_spm_state() use the state byte from firmware
to index 3-entry string arrays without a range check. A value above 2
indexes past the arrays, and the result is printed with %s by the
world-readable status and key_mechanism files.
For example, a state of 3 makes status treat whatever follows
spm_state_types[] as a string pointer.
Return -EIO for an out of range state.
Compile tested only.
