Subject: [PATCH] kdb: do a sanity check on the cpu in kdb_per_cpu()
Date: Mon, 06 May 2019 12:50:18 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190506125018.GA13799@mwanda> (raw)
The "whichcpu" comes from argv[3]. The cpu_online() macro looks up the
cpu in a bitmap of online cpus, but if the value is too high then it
could read beyond the end of the bitmap and possibly Oops.
Fixes: 5d5314d6795f ("kdb: core for kgdb back end (1 of 2)")
