Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] liveupdate: validate restored LUO metadata
Date: Sat,  2 May 2026 01:30:48 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260501173053.73116-1-crisjacobmaamor@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260501094637.38650-1-crisjacobmaamor@gmail.com>

LUO restores metadata from KHO/FDT during liveupdate. The restored
metadata contains physical addresses and count fields used to access and
walk preserved session, file set, and FLB arrays.

This series adds a non-consuming KHO preserved-range check and uses it
before phys_to_virt() on restored metadata addresses. It also rejects
restored counts above LUO_SESSION_MAX, LUO_FILE_MAX, and LUO_FLB_MAX
before traversal.

As far as I can tell, this is root/admin-only; I do not have evidence
that a normal unprivileged user can trigger it directly.

Changes since v1:
- Dropped RFC marking.
- Added changelog text to each patch.
- No code changes.
