fallback: read_file(): limit how big the file can be and still be valid
Covscan says: 146 UINTN len = 0; 147 CHAR16 *b = NULL; 2. tainted_data_argument: Calling function get_file_size taints argument len. 148 rc = get_file_size(fh2, &len); 3. Condition (INTN)rc < 0, taking false branch. 149 if (EFI_ERROR(rc)) { 150 uefi_call_wrapper(fh2->Close, 1, fh2); 151 return rc; 152 } 153 4. overflow_assign: Assigning overflowed or truncated value (or a value computed from an overflowed or a truncated value) to b. 8. overflow: Add operation overflows on operands len and 2UL. Example value for operand: len = 18446744073709551614. 154 b = AllocateZeroPool(len + 2); Technically we can't handle a file larger than 0xfffffffffffffffd (on x86_64) because when we try to allocate the buffer to hold it with a trailing UCS-2 NUL we overflow to 0. Also our filesystem can't hold a file bigger than 4GB... So this is probably actually broken on 32-bit platforms. This patch limits it to some handy amount like 1024 * PAGE_SIZE, aka 4MB. Note that this doesn't appear to be exploitable (at least on edk2-based firmwares), because AllocateZeroPool() has a minimum granularity of 1 page, so even if you overflow it with a 4GB file, we'll get 1 page out of it and then try to read 1 byte into it, and then it's just going to be a parse error on the CSV. Even if we error on the sentinal UCS-2 NUL we put at the end, it'll still be inside of the zeroed page, and it still won't fault or overwrite any meaningful data.
