Subject: [GIT PULL] bootconfig: Fixes for v7.3-rc3
Date: Sun, 13 Sep 2026 21:32:15 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260913213215.664a6efc4b690c9c78d7985a@kernel.org> (raw)

Linus,

Bootconfig fixes for v7.3-rc3

- bootconfig: Fix integer overflow and truncation vulnerabilities in size checks
  . tools/bootconfig: Fix integer overflow and truncation in size checks.
    Fix size check bypasses caused by integer overflow and truncation
    when parsing initrd or standalone bootconfig files, preventing
    buffer overflow and out-of-bounds writes in the userspace tool.
  . bootconfig: Fix integer overflow in initrd size check.
    Fix pointer arithmetic wrap-around in get_boot_config_from_initrd()
    when handling crafted huge size values, preventing fatal kernel
    page faults during early boot.
