Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
An issue exists in the x86 architecture during the kexec process. When a second-stage kernel is booted using a limiting command line, such as
mem=<size>, the physical range containing the carried over IMA (Integrity Measurement Architecture) measurement list may fall outside the truncated RAM. This can result in a kernel panic due to a page fault in the ima restore measurement list() function. Failure to carry the measurement list across kexec would lead to attestation failure.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
