Subject: [PATCH] common: pe: fix pe reloc pointer overrun
Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2025 08:50:36 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250327075036.3719261-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)

Import the fix from U-Boot commit 463e4e6476299b32452a8a:

| efi_loader: fix pe reloc pointer overrun
|
| The fix provided by 997fc12ec91 is actually introducing
| a buffer overrun, and the overrun is effective if the
| memory after the reloc section is not zeroed.
| Probably that's why this bug is not always noticeable.
|
| The problem is that 8-bytes 'rel' pointer can be 4-bytes aligned
| according to the PE Format, so the actual relocate function can
| take values after the reloc section.
|
| One example is the following dump from the reloc section:
|
|     bce26000: 3000 0000 000c 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
|     bce26010: 7c00 9340 67e0 f900 1c00 0ea1 a400 0f20
|
| This section has two relocations at offset bce26008 and bce2600a,
| however the given size (rel_size) for this relocation is 16-bytes
| and this is coming form the efi image Misc.VirtualSize, so in this
| case the 'reloc' pointer ends at affset bce2600c and is taken as
| valid and this is where the overflow is.
|
| In our system we see this problem when we are starting the
| Boot Guard efi image.
|
| This patch is fixing the overrun while preserving the fix done
| by 997fc12ec91.
