Subject: [GIT PULL] slab updates for 6.6
Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2023 15:22:37 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <eea66c95-8b95-49b1-18f5-5bd92f73f60e@suse.cz> (raw)

Hi Linus,

please pull the latest slab updates from:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab.git tags/slab-for-6.6

This happens to be a small one (due to summer I guess), and all hardening
related.

Thanks,
Vlastimil

======================================

* Randomized kmalloc caches, by GONG, Ruiqi.

  A new opt-in hardening feature to make heap spraying harder. It
  creates multiple (16) copies of kmalloc caches, reducing the
  chance of an attacker-controllable allocation site to land in
  the same slab as e.g. an allocation site with use-after-free
  vulnerability. The selection of the copy is derived from the
  allocation site address, including a per-boot random seed.

* Stronger typing for hardened freelists in SLUB, by Jann Horn

  Introduces a custom type for hardened freelist entries instead
  of "void *" as those are not directly dereferencable.
  While reviewing this, I've noticed opportunities for further
  cleanups in that code and added those on top.
