Ahmed Salem 475c69146b ACPICA: Avoid sequence overread in call to strncmp()
[ Upstream commit 64b9dfd077 ]

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.
