[PATCH 3.16 216/357] x86/kaslr: Avoid the setup_data area when picking location

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

 



3.16-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 0cacbfbeb5077b63d5d3cf6df88b14ac12ad584b upstream.

The KASLR location-choosing logic needs to avoid the setup_data
list memory areas as well. Without this, it would be possible to
have the ASLR position stomp on the memory, ultimately causing
the boot to fail.
