From fec6c20b570bcf541e581fc97f2e0cbdb9725b98 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Garrett Date: Mon, 30 Apr 2012 16:11:30 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] efi: Validate UEFI boot variables A common flaw in UEFI systems is a refusal to POST triggered by a malformed boot variable. Once in this state, machines may only be restored by reflashing their firmware with an external hardware device. While this is obviously a firmware bug, the serious nature of the outcome suggests that operating systems should filter their variable writes in order to prevent a malicious user from rendering the machine unusable.
