- Summary
- riscv: drop __init from vec_check_unaligned_access_speed_all_cpus
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
riscv: drop __init from veccheckunalignedaccessspeedallcpus
This function runs within a kthread and need not necessarily finish before system finishes boot and free_initmem() unmaps the .init.text section. This function makes calls to SBI for probing unaligned access speed, and if this is slow for some reason (say some debug prints were added to SBI), the kthread can still be running at this point and result in an instruction page fault when trying to fetch from the freed region.
