commit f4c59879b830c7d574a953e6ce970ddaf20910d7 Author: Philipp Rudo Date: Wed Mar 23 16:35:36 2022 +0100 util_lib/elf_info: harden parsing of printk buffer The old printk mechanism (> v3.5.0 and < v5.10.0) had a fixed size buffer (log_buf) that contains all messages. The location for the next message is stored in log_next_idx. In case the log_buf runs full log_next_idx wraps around and starts overwriting old messages at the beginning of the buffer. The wraparound is denoted by a message with msg->len == 0. Following the behavior described above blindly is dangerous as e.g. a memory corruption could overwrite (parts of) the log_buf. If the corruption adds a message with msg->len == 0 this leads to an endless loop when dumping the dmesg. Fix this by verifying that not wrapped around before when it encounters a message with msg->len == 0. While at it also verify that the index is within the log_buf and thus guard against corruptions with msg->len != 0. The same bug has been reported and fixed in makedumpfile [1].
