Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> scsi: smartpqi: Use is_kdump_kernel() to check for kdump<br /> <br /> The smartpqi driver checks the reset_devices variable to determine<br /> whether special adjustments need to be made for kdump. This has the<br /> effect that after a regular kexec reboot, some driver parameters such as<br /> max_transfer_size are much lower than usual. More importantly, kexec<br /> reboot tests have revealed memory corruption caused by the driver log<br /> being written to system memory after a kexec.<br /> <br /> Fix this by testing is_kdump_kernel() rather than reset_devices where<br /> appropriate.
