Subject: [PATCH v3] x86/kexec: fix potential cmem->ranges out of bounds
Date: Fri, 22 Dec 2023 20:18:53 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231222121855.148215-1-fuqiang.wang@easystack.cn> (raw)

In memmap_exclude_ranges(), there will exclude elfheader from
crashk_res. In the current x86 architecture code, the elfheader is
always allocated at crashk_res.start. It seems that there won't be a
split a new range. But it depends on the allocation position of
elfheader in crashk_res. To avoid potential out of bounds in future, add
a extra slot.

The similar issue also exists in fill_up_crash_elf_data(). The range to
be excluded is [0, 1M], start (0) is special and will not appear in the
middle of existing cmem->ranges[]. But in order to lest the low 1M could
be changed in the future, add a extra slot too.
