[edk2-devel] [PATCH v3 1/1] MdePkg/BaseLib: Fix out-of-bounds reads in SafeString

[Pedro Falcato]

There was a OOB access in *StrHexTo* functions, when passed strings like
"XDEADBEEF".

OpenCore folks established an ASAN-equipped project to fuzz Ext4Dxe,
which was able to catch these (mostly harmless) issues.
