Subject: [PATCH v3 4/5] liveupdate: validate handover metadata before using it
Date: Sat, 21 Mar 2026 15:36:41 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260321143642.166313-4-oskar@gerlicz.space> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260321143642.166313-3-oskar@gerlicz.space>

The incoming handover path was still trusting counts and preserved
addresses more than it should. Corrupted metadata could drive
phys_to_virt() or kho_restore_free() with invalid addresses, and memfd
restore could walk beyond the serialized folio array.

That turns malformed handover state into out-of-bounds iteration,
invalid restore frees, or partially restored incoming state.

Validate session, file and FLB metadata before consuming it, reject
non-restorable preserved addresses, and bound memfd folio restore by
both the serialized size and the restored vmalloc backing.

Fixes: 1c18e3e1efcd ("liveupdate: validate handover metadata before using it")
