Commit Message

Dov Murik Feb. 16, 2022, 6:40 a.m. UTC
When pc_system_parse_ovmf_flash() parses the optional GUIDed table in
the end of the OVMF flash memory area, the table length field is checked
for sizes that are too small, but doesn't error on sizes that are too
big (bigger than the flash content itself).

Add a check for maximal size of the OVMF table, and add an error report
in case the size is invalid.  In such a case, an error like this will be
displayed during launch:

    qemu-system-x86_64: OVMF table has invalid size 4047

and the table parsing is skipped.

v2:
- add error message example to commit description
- replace magic numbers 48 and 50 with size calculations (thanks Phil MD)

Instead of the max_tot_len calculation above, is it actually:
   max_tot_len = ptr - flash_ptr;

I think that works out the same and avoids doing the calculation in two
places; it's also logically what you have - you can't read over the
structure you just read.

I'll probably split the two hunks above (without max_tot_len) to a
separate patch "hw/i386: Replace magic number with field length
calculation".

Good call, it indeed gives the same result.


I'll change the condition below to:

    if (tot_len < 0 || tot_len > (ptr - flash_ptr))

and remove the max_tot_len variable, and put this in a separate patch
that only adds this condition to solve the overflow problem.


Thanks,
