[PATCH 4/4] efi: Fix use-after-free in finish boot services


From: Alec Brown
Subject: [PATCH 4/4] efi: Fix use-after-free in finish boot services
Date: Mon, 22 May 2023 16:52:49 -0400

In grub-core/kern/efi/mm.c, grub_efi_finish_boot_services() has an instance
where the memory for the variable finish_mmap_buf is freed, but on the next
iteration of a while loop, grub_efi_get_memory_map() uses finish_mmap_buf. To
prevent this, we can set finish_mmap_buf to NULL after the free.
