In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kho: fix size calculation in kho_preserved_memory_reserve()
kho_preserved_memory_reserve() calculates the size of a preservation by
doing 1 << (order + PAGE_SHIFT). Since the '1' is a 32-bit integer, it
can only be shifted by 31. That is, it will only work for preservations
up to 2 GiB.
Larger preservations will trigger undefined behaviour. While preservations larger than 2 GiB can't be obtained via folios
currently, they can be obtained via kho_preserve_pages(). For example, memblock reserve_mem uses kho_preserve_pages().
Reservations larger than 2 GiB are valid and will trigger this bug if properly aligned. Fix it by using 1UL for shifting.
