Subject: [PATCH v6 09/14] x86/crash: Fix massive out-of-bounds write on 32-bit Highmem
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2026 17:04:45 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260921090450.807575-10-ruanjinjie@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260921090450.807575-1-ruanjinjie@huawei.com>
On 32-bit x86 systems with HIGHMEM, kmap_local_page() only maps a single
4KB page. However, the elfcorehdr segment can span several pages (up to
hundreds of kilobytes).
The original code blindly copies 'elfsz' bytes at once via
memcpy_flushcache(), overwriting adjacent fixmap entries or critical
virtual addresses.
Fix this by copying the new elfcorehdr page by page.
