Subject: [PATCH] kho: fix out-of-bounds access of vmalloc chunk
Date: Mon, 3 Nov 2025 12:01:57 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251103110159.8399-1-pratyush@kernel.org> (raw)
The list of pages in a vmalloc chunk is NULL-terminated. So when looping
through the pages in a vmalloc chunk, both kho_restore_vmalloc() and
kho_vmalloc_unpreserve_chunk() rightly make sure to stop when
encountering a NULL page. But when the chunk is full, the loops do not
stop and go past the bounds of chunk->phys, resulting in out-of-bounds
memory access, and possibly the restoration or unpreservation of an
invalid page.
Fix this by making sure the processing of chunk stops at the end of the
array.
Fixes: a667300bd53f2 ("kho: add support for preserving vmalloc allocations")

Notes:
Commit 89a3ecca49ee8 ("kho: make sure page being restored is actually
from KHO") was quite helpful in catching this since kho_restore_page()
errored out due to missing magic number, instead of "restoring" a random
page and causing errors at other random places.
