#102: flashrom: coreboot ROM image file identification heuristic is broken

Component: flashrom | Version:
Keywords: rom image heuristic | Dependencies:
Patchstatus: patch needs work |
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
Non-coreboot ROM images are incorrectly identified as coreboot images, and
arbitrary data is used in flashrom code.
The heuristic is far too simplistic, we need a proper signature in all
coreboot images. The suggested fix is to add a LAR header to the ROM
image, I like that too.
When an image is incorrectly identified, junk data used by flashrom
typically causes flashrom to segfault.
