EFI/CPER: don't go past the ARM processor CPER record buffer
There's a logic inside GHES/CPER to detect if the section_length is too small, but it doesn't detect if it is too big. Currently, if the firmware receives an ARM processor CPER record stating that a section length is big, kernel will blindly trust section_length, producing a very long dump. For instance, a 67 bytes record with ERR_INFO_NUM set 46198 and section length set to 854918320 would dump a lot of data going a way past the firmware memory-mapped area. Fix it by adding a logic to prevent it to go past the buffer if ERR_INFO_NUM is too big, making it report instead: [Hardware Error]: Hardware error from APEI Generic Hardware Error Source: 1 [Hardware Error]: event severity: recoverable [Hardware Error]: Error 0, type: recoverable [Hardware Error]: section_type: ARM processor error [Hardware Error]: MIDR: 0xff304b2f8476870a [Hardware Error]: section length: 854918320, CPER size: 67 [Hardware Error]: section length is too big [Hardware Error]: firmware-generated error record is incorrect [Hardware Error]: ERR_INFO_NUM is 46198 Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Jonathan Cameron <jonathan.cameron@huawei.com> Acked-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Hanjun Guo <guohanjun@huawei.com> [ rjw: Subject and changelog tweaks ] Link: https://patch.msgid.link/41cd9f6b3ace3cdff7a5e864890849e4b1c58b63.1767871950.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
