Automated reporting tools tend to pick up the right-shift by an attacker-controllable shift amount as a potential defect, since a right-shift by greater than the word size is technically undefined behaviour. The result of an undefined shift is already ignored by the following range check on the shift amount, and the separate "unused_mask" variable exists only to make the code clearer to read. Sacrifice this very small improvement in legibility for the sake of reducing future reporting noise. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
iPXE network bootloader
iPXE is the leading open source network boot firmware. It provides a full PXE implementation enhanced with additional features such as:
-
boot from a web server via HTTP or HTTPS,
-
boot from an iSCSI, FCoE, or AoE SAN,
-
control the boot process with a script,
You can use iPXE to replace the existing PXE ROM on your network card, or you can chainload into iPXE to obtain the features of iPXE without the hassle of reflashing.
iPXE is free, open-source software licensed under the GNU GPL (with some portions under GPL-compatible licences).
You can download the rolling release binaries (built from the latest commit), or use the most recent stable release.
