Cannot add fixes line for this one as it's from pre-GIT times... /Jarkko ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eh? tpm_write uses a hard wired buffer size of TPM_BUFSIZE when working with tpm_transmit. in_size is never used except for the copy. We should probably fix that to sanity check the header length vs in_size. That doesn't seem to be a security issue however because the header length is propery limited to TPM_BUFSIZE and the data buffer is allocated specifically for that process using kzalloc.

I was working on something else when I bumped into this. The commit message is not the best possible but still the issue is valid although it does not cause any imaginable harm because there is always TPM_BUFSIZE of room in the buffer passed by tpm_write. I'll update the commit message not to speak about tpm_write. "tpm_transmit() does not check whether the bufsiz can contain the TPM header. Add check for this and return -EINVAL if it the buffer is too small." The check should be in tpm_transmit() and also the commit message should be only about that. > Jason /Jarkko ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

tpm_write() does not check whether the buffer has at least enough space for the header before passing it to tpm_transmit() so an overflow can happen. Signed-off-by: Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko.sakkinen@linux.intel.com> --- drivers/char/tpm/tpm-interface.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+)
