In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: kexec: derive purgatory entry from symbol kexec_load_purgatory() derives image->start by locating e_entry inside an SHF_EXECINSTR section. If the purgatory object contains multiple executable sections with overlapping sh_addr, the entrypoint check can match more than once and trigger a WARN. Derive the entry section from the purgatory_start symbol when present and compute image->start from its final placement. Keep the existing e_entry fallback for purgatories that do not expose the symbol. WARNING: kernel/kexec_file.c:1009 at kexec_load_purgatory+0x395/0x3c0, CPU#10: kexec/1784 Call Trace: <TASK> bzImage64_load+0x133/0xa00 __do_sys_kexec_file_load+0x2b3/0x5c0 do_syscall_64+0x81/0x610 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwfr
Add your gear to cvedb and we'll alert you only when linux ships something exploited.
