Subject: [GIT pull] x86 fixes for 4.13
Date: Sun, 3 Sep 2017 11:06:32 +0200 (CEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.20.1709031100050.2527@nanos> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3023 bytes --]
Linus,
please pull the latest x86-urgent-for-linus git tree from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git x86-urgent-for-linus
This update contains:
- Expand the space for uncompressing as the LZ4 worst case does not fit
into the currently reserved space.
- Validate boot parameters more strictly to prevent out of bound access in
the decompressor/boot code.
- Fix off by one errors in get_segment_base().
Thanks,
tglx
