Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
kernel/kexec: fix IMA when allocation happens in CMA area<br />
<br />
*** Bug description ***<br />
<br />
When I tested kexec with the latest kernel, I ran into the following warning:<br />
<br />
[ 40.712410] ------------[ cut here ]------------<br />
[ 40.712576] WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 1562 at kernel/kexec_core.c:1001 kimage_map_segment+0x144/0x198<br />
[...]<br />
[ 40.816047] Call trace:<br />

[...]<br />
[ 40.855423] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---<br />
<br />
*** How to reproduce ***<br />
<br />
This bug is only triggered when the kexec target address is allocated in<br />
the CMA area. If no CMA area is reserved in the kernel, use the "cma="<br />
option in the kernel command line to reserve one.<br />
<br />
*** Root cause ***<br />
The commit 07d24902977e ("kexec: enable CMA based contiguous<br />
allocation") allocates the kexec target address directly on the CMA area<br />
to avoid copying during the jump. In this case, there is no IND_SOURCE<br />
for the kexec segment. But the current implementation of<br />
kimage_map_segment() assumes that IND_SOURCE pages exist and map them<br />
into a contiguous virtual address by vmap().<br />
<br />
*** Solution ***<br />
If IMA segment is allocated in the CMA area, use its page_address()<br />
directly.
