Re: [PATCH] UefiPayloadPkg/UefiPayloadEntry: Fix memory corruption

["Ni, Ray" <ray.ni@intel.com>]

It's so lucky that no code calls AllocatePool so the bug didn't cause real issues. (I tried to remove AllocatePool() and build still passed.)

Thanks for catching the bug. Reviewed-by: Ray Ni <ray.ni@intel.com>

Can you kindly share how you found this issue?

Thanks,
Ray

Subject: [PATCH] UefiPayloadPkg/UefiPayloadEntry: Fix memory corruption

UefiPayloadEntry's AllocatePool() applies the "sizeof" operator to
HOB index rather than the HOB header structure. This yields 4 Bytes
compared to the 8 Bytes the structure header requires. Fix the call
to allocate the required space instead.
