[PATCH v2 0/2] RAS: Fix ARM processor error bounds checking
Posted by Abbott Liu 1 month ago
Commit 87880af2d24e ("APEI/GHES: ARM processor Error: don't go past
allocated memory") and commit 05954511b73e ("RAS: Report all ARM
processor CPER information to userspace") introduced bounds checking
for malformed ARM processor error records in log_arm_hw_error().
However, two issues remain:

1. The ctx_info bounds check condition is inverted: it adds
   ctx_info->size when the context header is already past the end of
   the section instead of when it is within bounds.

2. When vsei_len < 0, the error path does not verify pei_len and
   ctx_len. Since these are derived from err_info_num and
   context_info_num, they may describe regions beyond the allocated
   record, causing trace_arm_event() to read out of bounds.

Patch 1 fixes the inverted bounds check for context info iteration.
Patch 2 sanitizes pei_len/ctx_len/ven_err_data in the vsei_len < 0
error path to prevent out-of-bounds reads in trace_arm_event().

Changes in v2:
  - Split the original single patch into two separate patches, one
    for each distinct fix, to ease review and backporting.

v1:
  RAS: Fix out-of-range section_length in ARM processor error handling
  https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260820131829.1006371-1-liuwenliang@huawei.com/
