Kernel service interruption via oversized TPM allocation
Published Feb 27, 2025 · Updated Jul 14, 2026
Improper input validation in Linux TPM ACPI event-log handling allows local users to interrupt service through an oversized firmware log. In drivers/char/tpm/eventlog/acpi.c, the kernel passes an ACPI-reported 16 MiB event-log size to devm_kmalloc(), forcing a high-order contiguous allocation instead of a virtually contiguous allocation. Reachability requires TPM event-log initialization on hardware whose ACPI table advertises the oversized region; the observed result is an allocation warning and failed log-buffer setup during startup.
