Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ima: Free IMA measurement buffer after kexec syscall
Date: Thu, 21 Jan 2021 09:30:03 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210121173003.18324-2-nramas@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210121173003.18324-1-nramas@linux.microsoft.com>

IMA allocates kernel virtual memory to carry forward the measurement
list, from the current kernel to the next kernel on kexec system call,
in ima_add_kexec_buffer() function.  This buffer is not freed before
completing the kexec system call resulting in memory leak.

Add ima_buffer field in "struct kimage" to store the virtual address
of the buffer allocated for the IMA measurement list.
Free the memory allocated for the IMA measurement list in
kimage_file_post_load_cleanup() function.
