The length of the attestation report buffer is never checked to be
valid before allocation is made. If the length of the report is returned
to be 0, the buffer to retrieve the attestation report is allocated with
length 0 and passed to the kernel to fill with contents of the attestation
report. Leaving this unchecked is dangerous and could lead to undefined
behavior.

I don't see the undefined behaviour risk here.

The KVM_SEV_ATTESTATION_REPORT semantics indicate that the kernel
will fill in a valid length if the buffer we provide is too small
and we can re-call with that buffer.

If the kernel tells us the buffer is 0 bytes, then it should be
fine having a second call with length 0. If not, then the kernel
is broken and we're doomed.

The QEMU code looks like it would cope with a zero length, unless
I'm mistaken, it'll  just return a zero length attestation report.

The declaration of 'input' already zero initializes.

It can't be less than 0 because 'len' is an unsigned integer.
