Subject: [PATCH] MdeModulePkg/DxeCore: Add ASSERT to ensure no subtract underflow
Date: Mon, 10 Apr 2017 14:15:57 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170410061557.12688-1-hao.a.wu@intel.com> (raw)

For function SplitRecord() in file PropertiesTable.c, there is a
potential subtract underflow case for line:

  return TotalNewRecordCount - 1;

However, such case will not happen since the logic in function
SplitTable() ensure that when calling SplitRecord(), the variable
'TotalNewRecordCount' will not be zero when performing the subtraction.
It will be handled in the previous if statement:

  if (MaxSplitRecordCount == 0) {
    CopyMem (NewRecord, OldRecord, DescriptorSize);
    return 0;
  }
