[PATCH v6 4/4] efi/cper: don't dump the entire memory region
Posted by Mauro Carvalho Chehab 1 month ago
The current logic at cper_print_fw_err() doesn't check if the
error record length is big enough to handle offset. On a bad firmware,
if the ofset is above the actual record, length -= offset will
underflow, making it dump the entire memory.

The end result can be:

- the logic taking a lot of time dumping large regions of memory;
- data disclosure due to the memory dumps;
- an OOPS, if it tries to dump an unmapped memory region.

Fix it by checking if the section length is too small before doing
a hex dump.
