Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
platform/x86: hp-bioscfg: Fix out-of-bounds array access in ACPI package parsing<br />
<br />
The hp_populate_*_elements_from_package() functions in the hp-bioscfg<br />
driver contain out-of-bounds array access vulnerabilities.<br />
<br />
These functions parse ACPI packages into internal data structures using<br />
a for loop with index variable &#39;elem&#39; that iterates through<br />
enum_obj/integer_obj/order_obj/password_obj/string_obj arrays.<br />
<br />
When processing multi-element fields like PREREQUISITES and<br />
ENUM_POSSIBLE_VALUES, these functions read multiple consecutive array<br />
elements using expressions like &#39;enum_obj[elem + reqs]&#39; and<br />
&#39;enum_obj[elem + pos_values]&#39; within nested loops.<br />
<br />
The bug is that the bounds check only validated elem, but did not consider<br />
the additional offset when accessing elem + reqs or elem + pos_values.<br />
<br />
The fix changes the bounds check to validate the actual accessed index.
