SubjectRE: [PATCH v2] firmware: dmi: Stop decoding on broken entry
Date
From: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de> Sent: Thursday, April 18, 2024 5:28 AM

> If a DMI table entry is shorter than 4 bytes, it is invalid. Due to
> how DMI table parsing works, it is impossible to safely recover from
> such an error, so we have to stop decoding the table.
