Revision 5e2805d5379619c4a2e3ae4994e73b36439f4bad authored by Toshi Kani on 21 July 2022, 18:05:03 UTC, committed by Borislav Petkov on 27 July 2022, 08:42:52 UTC
The commit cb51a371d08e ("EDAC/ghes: Setup DIMM label from DMI and use it in error reports") enforced that both the bank and device strings passed to dimm_setup_label() are not NULL. However, there are BIOSes, for example on a HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10/ProLiant DL360 Gen10, BIOS U32 03/15/2019 which don't populate both strings: Handle 0x0020, DMI type 17, 84 bytes Memory Device Array Handle: 0x0013 Error Information Handle: Not Provided Total Width: 72 bits Data Width: 64 bits Size: 32 GB Form Factor: DIMM Set: None Locator: PROC 1 DIMM 1 <===== device Bank Locator: Not Specified <===== bank This results in a buffer overflow because ghes_edac_register() calls strlen() on an uninitialized label, which had non-zero values left over from krealloc_array(): detected buffer overflow in __fortify_strlen ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at lib/string_helpers.c:983! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI CPU: 1 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Tainted: G I 5.18.6-200.fc36.x86_64 #1 Hardware name: HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10/ProLiant DL360 Gen10, BIOS U32 03/15/2019 RIP: 0010:fortify_panic ...

Change dimm_setup_label() to always initialize the label to fix the issue. Set it to the empty string in case BIOS does not provide both bank and device so that ghes_edac_register() can keep the default label given by edac_mc_alloc_dimms().

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
