In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/kexec: Push kjump return address even for non-kjump kexec
The version of purgatory code shipped by kexec-tools attempts to look above
the top of its stack to find a return address for a kjump, even in a non-kjump
kexec.
After the commit in Fixes: the word above the stack might not be there,
leading to a fault (which is at least now caught by my exception-handling code
in kexec).
That commit fixed things for the actual kjump path, but no longer
"gratuitously" pushes the unused return address to the stack in the non-kjump
path. Put that *back* in the non-kjump path, to prevent purgatory from
crashing when trying to access it. |
