Currently, dsm_label_utf16s_to_utf8s() passes the ACPI buffer length to utf16s_to_utf8s() unchanged. The Device Name _DSM may return the device name as a buffer holding a UTF-16 string, and the ACPI length counts bytes while the converter counts wchar_t elements. The converter therefore receives a count twice the number of code units the buffer holds, and that count is its only bound on the input. A NUL code unit ends the conversion early, so a name that carries one is converted correctly and the error stays hidden. ACPICA zeroes the entire result allocation, and the padding placed after the buffer supplies that NUL for most lengths. Lengths that leave no padding, or a single byte of it, do not, and the conversion then runs up to its own length in bytes past the end of the allocation. The bytes beyond the allocation are decoded into the "label" attribute, which is world readable. Divide the buffer length by the size of wchar_t so that the converter receives a count of code units. The division truncates, so the converter is never told to read more bytes than the buffer holds, including for an odd length. Reaching the out of bounds read needs firmware that returns the name as a buffer and omits the terminator.
