Thanks Mpe for explaining and apologies Rob as I initially didnt get the point you made. I wrongly assumed that since the patch can only be applied on top of commit fee3ff99bc67 hence fixes should point to fee3ff99bc67. I have sent out a v2 with the updated Fixes tag and also changes as suggested by Mpe and Rob at https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220524055042.1527968-1-vaib...@linux.ibm.com/ -- Cheers ~ Vaibhav

The function was introduced in: 467d27824920 ("powerpc: ima: get the kexec buffer passed by the previous kernel") So that's where the Fixes tag should point. cheers

Yes, the code didnt have the necessary check to see if the address for previous kernel IMA buffer is beyond the currently addressable memory.

[PATCH] powerpc: check previous kernel's ima-kexec-buffer against memory bounds
Presently ima_get_kexec_buffer() doesn't check if the previous kernel's ima-kexec-buffer lies outside the addressable memory range. This can result in a kernel panic if the new kernel is booted with 'mem=X' arg and the ima-kexec-buffer was allocated beyond that range by the previous kernel. The panic is usually of the form below: $ sudo kexec --initrd initrd vmlinux --append='mem=16G' BUG: Unable to handle kernel data access on read at 0xc000c01fff7f Faulting instruction address: 0xc0837974 Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] NIP [c0837974] ima_restore_measurement_list+0x94/0x6c0 LR [c083b55c] ima_load_kexec_buffer+0xac/0x160 Call Trace: [c371fa80] [c083b55c] ima_load_kexec_buffer+0xac/0x160 [c371fb00] [c20512c4] ima_init+0x80/0x108 [c371fb70] [c20514dc] init_ima+0x4c/0x120 [c371fbf0] [c0012240] do_one_initcall+0x60/0x2c0 [c371fcc0] [c2004ad0] kernel_init_freeable+0x344/0x3ec [c371fda0] [c00128a4] kernel_init+0x34/0x1b0 [c371fe10] [c000ce64] ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0x64 Instruction dump: f92100b8 f92100c0 90e10090 910100a0 4182050c 282a0017 3bc0 40810330 7c0802a6 fb610198 7c9b2378 f80101d0 2c090001 40820614 e9240010 ---[ end trace ]--- Fix this issue by checking returned address/size of previous kernel's ima-kexec-buffer against memblock's memory bounds.
