CVE-2021-46951

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tpm: efi: Use local variable for calculating final log size

When tpm_read_log_efi is called multiple times, which happens when one loads and unloads a TPM2 driver multiple times, then the global variable efi_tpm_final_log_size will at some point become a negative number due to the subtraction of final_events_preboot_size occurring each time. Use a local variable to avoid this integer underflow.

The following issue is now resolved:

Weakness

The product subtracts one value from another, such that the result is less than the minimum allowable integer value, which produces a value that is not equal to the correct result.
