Subject: [PATCH] envblk: Fix buffer overrun when attempting to shrink a
variable value
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
If an existing variable is set with a value whose length is smaller than
the current value, a memory corruption can happen due copying padding '#'
characters outside of the environment block buffer.
This is caused by a wrong calculation of the previous free space position
after moving backward the characters that followed the old variable value.
That position is calculated to fill the remaining of the buffer with the
padding '#' characters. But since isn't calculated correctly, it can lead
to copies outside of the buffer.
The issue can be reproduced by creating a variable with a large value and
then try to set a new value that is much smaller:
$ grub2-editenv --version
grub2-editenv (GRUB) 2.04
$ grub2-editenv env create
$ grub2-editenv env set a="$(for i in {1..500}; do var="b$var"; done; echo $var)"
$ wc -c env
1024 grubenv
$ grub2-editenv env set a="$(for i in {1..50}; do var="b$var"; done; echo $var)"
malloc(): corrupted top size
Aborted (core dumped)
$ wc -c env
0 grubenv
