[PATCH 3.12 103/104] drivers/rtc/rtc-efi.c: check for invalid data coming back from UEFI

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Wed Aug 20 2014 - 08:17:05 EST


From: Jan Beulich <JBeulich@xxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 6e85bab6bc1019f9b87c53b32da3ad7791e7ddf9 upstream.

In particular seeing zero in eft->month is problematic, as it results in
-1 (converted to unsigned int, i.e. yielding 0xffffffff) getting passed
to rtc_year_days(), where the value gets used as an array index
(normally resulting in a crash). This was observed with the driver
enabled on x86 on some Fujitsu system (with possibly not up to date
firmware, but anyway).

Perhaps efi_read_alarm() should not fail if neither enabled nor pending
are set, but the returned time is invalid?
