Hi Wim Vervoorn, Thanks for reporting this issue. It's a bug of current code and your solution can fix it correctly. But when the storage is NameValueType, for string opcode, current code also calculate the string length incorrectly, the length should not include the trailing terminator and storage name. So could you help to file a bug on bugzilla and then we can fix these issues? https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/

In this case the validation returns an error because it thinks the string is too long. During the validation ValidateQuestionFromVfr (); checks if the stringlength is valid. The issue is that this uses the "maxsize" value * 2 from the VFR. It does this using the StrSize function which includes the trailing terminator. This is of course correct. The maxsize from the VFR indicates only the amount of characters excluding the terminator. As a quickfix I changed the ValidateQuestionFromVfr () to take this into account but I am doubting if this is the correct solution. Can you shed some light here? Below is the fragment where I see this issue: // // Get Offset/Width by Question header and OneOf Flags // Offset = IfrString->Question.VarStoreInfo.VarOffset; // // Check whether this question is in current block array. // if (!BlockArrayCheck (CurrentBlockArray, Offset, Width)) { // // This question is not in the current configuration string. Skip it. // break; } // // Check this var question is in the var storage // if ((Offset + Width) > VarStoreData.Size) { // // This question exceeds the var store size. // return EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER; } // // Check current string length is less than maxsize // // Please note we subtract sizeof(CHAR16) here because the StrSize returns the length including the terminator // while we specify the length in characters in the VFR! // ORG -> // if ( (StrSize ((CHAR16 *) (VarBuffer + Offset)) > Width) { CHANGED-> if ( (StrSize ((CHAR16 *) (VarBuffer + Offset)) - sizeof(CHAR16)) > Width) { return EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER; } } break; Best Regards, Wim Vervoorn Eltan B.V.
