Subject: Re: [PATCH] tpm: eventlog: check the payload size before reading tag events
Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2026 10:58:09 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104025809.787723-1-zhugl3@xiaopeng.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <aunbAIcxu8XTW0Ph@kernel.org>
The legacy PC Client spec defines the EV_EVENT_TAG payload as a
TCPA_PC_EVENT: event_id, event_size and event-type-specific data.
A conformant entry carries the 8-byte header, and the hash-type
ids carry a full digest.
The catch is that the log is an ACPI table the firmware leaves in
memory: the TPM never measures the log itself, so the kernel cannot
tell a conformant log from a corrupted one. The iterators already
work on that assumption - they stop once the declared event_size
runs past the buffer end - and this check applies the same rule to
what the EVENT_TAG branch reads off the payload.
