[PATCH 08/12] kexec: Disable at runtime if trusted_kernel is true

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



kexec permits the loading and execution of arbitrary code in ring 0, which
permits the modification of the running kernel. Prevent this if
 trusted_kernel is true.
