"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nbootconfig: Fix integer overflow in initrd size check\n\nSashiko reported that in get_boot_config_from_initrd(), a crafted initrd\nwith a huge bootconfig size (such as 0xFFFFFFFF) can cause the pointer\narithmetic:\n\n data = ((void *)hdr) - size;\n\nto wrap around on 32-bit systems (or when pointer subtraction overflows).\nBecause data wraps around, the subsequent bounds check:\n\n if ((unsigned long)data < initrd_start)\n\nevaluates to false, bypassing the check. The kernel then calls\nxbc_calc_checksum(data, size), which attempts to read 4GB of memory,\nhitting unmapped pages and triggering a fatal kernel page fault during\nearly boot. Furthermore, on 64-bit systems with an initrd > 4.29 GB, an\nunbounded 32-bit size can similarly bypass the initrd_start check.\n\nFix this by:\n1. Ensuring the initrd is at least large enough to contain the bootconfig\n footer and verifying hdr is within the initrd bounds.\n2. Checking that size does not exceed XBC_DATA_MAX and does not exceed\n the available space between initrd_start and hdr before performing\n pointer subtraction."
