[PATCH] firmware: dmi_scan: Prevent dmi_num integer overflow
From: Jean Delvare
Date: Fri Mar 20 2015 - 05:00:01 EST
dmi_num is a u16, dmi_len is a u32, so this construct:
dmi_num = dmi_len / 4;
would result in an integer overflow for a DMI table larger than
256 kB. I've never see such a large table so far, but SMBIOS 3.0
makes it possible so maybe we'll see such tables in the future.
So instead of faking a structure count when the entry point does
not provide it, adjust the loop condition in dmi_table() to properly
deal with the case where dmi_num is not set.
