      "title": "crash: fix crashkernel resource shrink",
      "summary": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ncrash: fix crashkernel resource shrink\n\nWhen crashkernel is configured with a high reservation, shrinking its\nvalue below the low crashkernel reservation causes two issues:\n\n1. Invalid crashkernel resource objects\n2. Kernel crash if crashkernel shrinking is done twice\n\nFor example, with crashkernel=200M,high, the kernel reserves 200MB of high\nmemory and some default low memory (say 256MB).  The reservation appears\nas:\n\ncat /proc/iomem | grep -i crash\naf000000-beffffff : Crash kernel\n433000000-43f7fffff : Crash kernel\n\nIf crashkernel is then shrunk to 50MB (echo 52428800 >\n/sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size), /proc/iomem still shows 256MB reserved:\naf000000-beffffff : Crash kernel\n\nInstead, it should show 50MB:\naf000000-b21fffff : Crash kernel\n\nFurther shrinking crashkernel to 40MB causes a kernel crash with the\nfollowing trace (x86):\n\nBUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000038\nPGD 0 P4D 0\nOops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI\n<snip...>\nCall Trace: <TASK>\n? __die_body.cold+0x19/0x27\n? page_fault_oops+0x15a/0x2f0\n? search_module_extables+0x19/0x60\n? search_bpf_extables+0x5f/0x80\n? exc_page_fault+0x7e/0x180\n? asm_exc_page_fault+0x26/0x30\n? __release_resource+0xd/0xb0\nrelease_resource+0x26/0x40\n__crash_shrink_memory+0xe5/0x110\ncrash_shrink_memory+0x12a/0x190\nkexec_crash_size_store+0x41/0x80\nkernfs_fop_write_iter+0x141/0x1f0\nvfs_write+0x294/0x460\nksys_write+0x6d/0xf0\n<snip...>\n\nThis happens because __crash_shrink_memory()/kernel/crash_core.c\nincorrectly updates the crashk_res resource object even when\ncrashk_low_res should be updated.\n\nFix this by ensuring the correct crashkernel resource object is updated\nwhen shrinking crashkernel memory.",
