If no CMA area is reserved in the kernel, use the \"cma=\"\noption in the kernel command line to reserve one.\n\n*** Root cause ***\nThe commit 07d24902977e (\"kexec: enable CMA based contiguous\nallocation\") allocates the kexec target address directly on the CMA area\nto avoid copying during the jump. In this case, there is no IND_SOURCE\nfor the kexec segment. But the current implementation of\nkimage_map_segment() assumes that IND_SOURCE pages exist and map them\ninto a contiguous virtual address by vmap().\n\n*** Solution ***\nIf IMA segment is allocated in the CMA area, use its page_address()\ndirectly." } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "kernel/kexec_core.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "07d24902977e4704fab8472981e73a0ad6dfa1fd", "lessThan": "a843e4155c83211c55b1b6cc17eab27a6a2c5b6f", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "07d24902977e4704fab8472981e73a0ad6dfa1fd", "lessThan": "a3785ae5d334bb71d47a593d54c686a03fb9d136", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "kernel/kexec_core.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "6.17", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "6.17", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.4", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.19", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.17", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.4" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.17", "versionEndExcluding": "6.19" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a843e4155c83211c55b1b6cc17eab27a6a2c5b6f" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a3785ae5d334bb71d47a593d54c686a03fb9d136" } ], "title": "kernel/kexec: fix IMA when allocation happens in CMA area", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
