Message-ID: <20251110052046.031DAC4CEFB@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: kho: fix out-of-bounds access of vmalloc chunk
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
kho-fix-out-of-bounds-access-of-vmalloc-chunk.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: kho: fix out-of-bounds access of vmalloc chunk
Date: Mon, 3 Nov 2025 12:01:57 +0100
The list of pages in a vmalloc chunk is NULL-terminated. So when looping
through the pages in a vmalloc chunk, both kho_restore_vmalloc() and
kho_vmalloc_unpreserve_chunk() rightly make sure to stop when encountering
a NULL page. But when the chunk is full, the loops do not stop and go
past the bounds of chunk->phys, resulting in out-of-bounds memory access,
and possibly the restoration or unpreservation of an invalid page.
Fix this by making sure the processing of chunk stops at the end of the
array.
