[PATCH v11 14/20] tpm: Protect against locality counter underflow
Posted by Ross Philipson 2 months, 2 weeks ago
From: "Daniel P. Smith" <dpsmith@apertussolutions.com>

Commit 933bfc5ad213 introduced the use of a locality counter to control when a
locality request is allowed to be sent to the TPM. In the commit, the counter
is indiscriminately decremented. Thus creating a situation for an integer
underflow of the counter.

Explain the context.
