[PATCH V3 1/4] selftests/sgx: Fix NULL-pointer-dereference upon early test failure

From: Reinette Chatre
Date: Tue Feb 08 2022 - 17:24:42 EST


== Background ==

The SGX selftests track parts of the enclave binaries in an array:
encl->segment_tbl[]. That array is dynamically allocated early
(but not first) in the test's lifetime. The array is referenced
at the end of the test in encl_delete().

== Problem ==

encl->segment_tbl[] can be NULL if the test fails before its
allocation. That leads to a NULL-pointer-dereference in encl_delete().
This is triggered during early failures of the selftest like if the
enclave binary ("test_encl.elf") is deleted.

== Solution ==

Ensure encl->segment_tbl[] is valid before attempting to access
its members. The offset with which it is accessed, encl->nr_segments,
is initialized before encl->segment_tbl[] and thus considered valid
to use after the encl->segment_tbl[] check succeeds.
