The commit
cb51a371d08e ("EDAC/ghes: Setup DIMM label from DMI and use it in error reports")
enforced that both the bank and device strings passed to
dimm_setup_label() are not NULL.
However, there are BIOSes, for example on a
HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10/ProLiant DL360 Gen10, BIOS U32 03/15/2019
which don't populate both strings:
Handle 0x0020, DMI type 17, 84 bytes
Memory Device
Array Handle: 0x0013
Error Information Handle: Not Provided
Total Width: 72 bits
Data Width: 64 bits
Size: 32 GB
Form Factor: DIMM
Set: None
Locator: PROC 1 DIMM 1 <===== device
Bank Locator: Not Specified <===== bank
This results in a buffer overflow because ghes_edac_register() calls
strlen() on an uninitialized label, which had non-zero values left over
from krealloc_array():
detected buffer overflow in __fortify_strlen

The label contains garbage because the commit in Fixes reallocs the
DIMMs array while scanning the system but doesn't clear the newly
allocated memory.
Change dimm_setup_label() to always initialize the label to fix the
issue. Set it to the empty string in case BIOS does not provide both
bank and device so that ghes_edac_register() can keep the default label
given by edac_mc_alloc_dimms().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
