Resolved Date: May 7, 2026

Component/s: Kernel

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  EFI/CPER: don't dump the entire memory region  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.  [ rjw: Subject tweaks ]
