[edk2-devel] [PATCH v1 3/4] EmbeddedPkg/Hob: Integer Overflow in CreateHob()
Posted by Guo, Gua 1 year, 11 months ago
From: Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@redhat.com>

REF: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4166

Fix integer overflow in various CreateHob instances.
Fixes: CVE-2022-36765

The CreateHob() function aligns the requested size to 8
performing the following operation:
```
HobLength = (UINT16)((HobLength + 0x7) & (~0x7));
```

No checks are performed to ensure this value doesn't
overflow, and could lead to CreateHob() returning a smaller
HOB than requested, which could lead to OOB HOB accesses.

This is missing a signed-off line from the sender.

(the signoff is not a statement of authorship, it is a promise by the
sender that the contribution complies with the license)

With that fixed:
