[ Upstream commit 64b9dfd0776e9c38d733094859a09f13282ce6f8 ]
ACPICA commit 8b83a8d88dfec59ea147fad35fc6deea8859c58c
ap_get_table_length() checks if tables are valid by calling ap_is_valid_header(). The latter then calls ACPI_VALIDATE_RSDP_SIG(Table->Signature).
ap_is_valid_header() accepts struct acpi_table_header as an argument, so the signature size is always fixed to 4 bytes.
The problem is when the string comparison is between ACPI-defined table signature and ACPI_SIG_RSDP. Common ACPI table header specifies the Signature field to be 4 bytes long[1], with the exception of the RSDP structure whose signature is 8 bytes long "RSD PTR " (including the trailing blank character)[2]. Calling strncmp(sig, rsdp_sig, 8) would then result in a sequence overread[3] as sig would be smaller (4 bytes) than the specified bound (8 bytes).
As a workaround, pass the bound conditionally based on the size of the signature being passed.
