Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
kexec: derive purgatory entry from symbol<br />
<br />
kexec_load_purgatory() derives image->start by locating e_entry inside an<br />
SHF_EXECINSTR section. If the purgatory object contains multiple<br />
executable sections with overlapping sh_addr, the entrypoint check can<br />
match more than once and trigger a WARN.<br />
<br />
Derive the entry section from the purgatory_start symbol when present and<br />
compute image->start from its final placement. Keep the existing e_entry<br />
fallback for purgatories that do not expose the symbol.<br />
<br />
WARNING: kernel/kexec_file.c:1009 at kexec_load_purgatory+0x395/0x3c0, CPU#10: kexec/1784<br />
