CVE Details
| Release Date: | 2026-05-08 | |
| Impact: | Moderate | What is this? |
Description
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
