Subject: [PATCH v5 1/4] apei/ghes: ARM processor Error: don't go past allocated memory
Date: Wed, 7 Jan 2026 17:41:49 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7fd9f38413be05ee2d7cfdb0dc31ea2274cf1a54.1767804050.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1767804050.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>
If the BIOS generates a very small ARM Processor Error, or
an incomplete one, the current logic will fail to deferrence
err->section_length
and
ctx_info->size
Add checks to avoid that. With such changes, such GHESv2
records won't cause OOPSes like this:
[ 1.492129] Internal error: Oops: 0000000096000005 [#1] SMP

0xffff8000811c5324 is in log_arm_hw_error (../drivers/ras/ras.c:75).
70 err_info = (struct cper_arm_err_info *)(err + 1);
71 ctx_info = (struct cper_arm_ctx_info *)(err_info + err->err_info_num);
72 ctx_err = (u8 *)ctx_info;
73
74 for (n = 0; n < err->context_info_num; n++) {
75 sz = sizeof(struct cper_arm_ctx_info) + ctx_info->size;
76 ctx_info = (struct cper_arm_ctx_info *)((long)ctx_info + sz);
77 ctx_len += sz;
78 }
79
and similar ones while trying to access section_length on an
error dump with too small size.
