In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: efivarfs: Fix slab-out-of-bounds in efivarfs_d_compare Observed on kernel 6.6 (present on master as well): BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in memcmp+0x98/0xd0 Call trace: kasan_check_range+0xe8/0x190 __asan_loadN+0x1c/0x28 memcmp+0x98/0xd0 efivarfs_d_compare+0x68/0xd8 __d_lookup_rcu_op_compare+0x178/0x218 __d_lookup_rcu+0x1f8/0x228 d_alloc_parallel+0x150/0x648 lookup_open.isra.0+0x5f0/0x8d0 open_last_lookups+0x264/0x828 path_openat+0x130/0x3f8 do_filp_open+0x114/0x248 do_sys_openat2+0x340/0x3c0 __arm64_sys_openat+0x120/0x1a0 If dentry->d_name.len < EFI_VARIABLE_GUID_LEN , 'guid' can become negative, leadings to oob. The issue can be triggered by parallel lookups using invalid filename: T1 T2 lookup_open ->lookup simple_lookup d_add // invalid dentry is added to hash list lookup_open d_alloc_parallel __d_lookup_rcu __d_lookup_rcu_op_compare hlist_bl_for_each_entry_rcu // invalid dentry can be retrieved ->d_compare efivarfs_d_compare // oob Fix it by checking 'guid' before cmp.
