Subject: [PATCH v1 1/2] verify_pefile: relax wrapper length check
Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2023 15:14:34 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230217201435.39784-2-rharwood@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230217201435.39784-1-rharwood@redhat.com>

The PE Format Specification (section "The Attribute Certificate Table
(Image Only)") states that `dwLength` is to be rounded up to 8-byte
alignment when used for traversal.  Therefore, the field is not required
to be an 8-byte multiple in the first place.

Accordingly, pesign has not performed this alignment since version
0.110.  This causes kexec failure on pesign'd binaries with "PEFILE:
Signature wrapper len wrong".  Update the comment and relax the check.
