In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: ccp: Don't attempt to copy CSR to userspace if PSP command failed
When retrieving the PEK CSR, don't attempt to copy the blob to userspace
if the firmware command failed. If the failure was due to an invalid
length, i.e. the userspace buffer+length was too small, copying the number
of bytes firmware requires will overflow the kernel-allocated buffer and
leak data to userspace.

says otherwise, as __sev_do_cmd_locked() is expected to return -EIO on any
firwmware error.
