Subject: [ 134/167] [PATCH] efivars: Improve variable validation
3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Matthew Garrett <mjg@...hat.com>
commit 54b3a4d311c98ad94b737802a8b5f2c8c6bfd627 upstream.
Ben Hutchings pointed out that the validation in efivars was inadequate -
most obviously, an entry with size 0 would server as a DoS against the
kernel. Improve this based on his suggestions.
