[edk2-devel] [PATCH v2 1/4] UefiPayloadPkg/Hob: Integer Overflow in CreateHob()

["Guo, Gua" <gua.guo@intel.com>]

From: Gua Guo <gua.guo@intel.com>

REF: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4166

Fix integer overflow in various CreateHob instances.
Fixes: CVE-2022-36765

The CreateHob() function aligns the requested size to 8
performing the following operation:
```
HobLength = (UINT16)((HobLength + 0x7) & (~0x7));
```

No checks are performed to ensure this value doesn't
overflow, and could lead to CreateHob() returning a smaller
HOB than requested, which could lead to OOB HOB accesses.
