[PATCH 5.7 380/393] firmware_loader: EFI firmware loader must handle pre-allocated buffer

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Aug 17 2020 - 12:42:24 EST


From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 4fb60b158afd3ac9e0fe9975aa476213f5cc0a4d upstream.

The EFI platform firmware fallback would clobber any pre-allocated
buffers. Instead, correctly refuse to reallocate when too small (as
already done in the sysfs fallback), or perform allocation normally
when needed.

Fixes: e4c2c0ff00ec ("firmware: Add new platform fallback mechanism and firmware_request_platform()")
