[PATCH] x86/mm/KASLR: Account for minimum padding when calculating entropy
From: Junaid Shahid
Date: Thu Oct 22 2020 - 20:39:50 EST
Subtract the minimum padding between regions from the initial
remain_entropy. Without this, the last region could potentially
overflow past vaddr_end if we happen to get a specific sequence
of random numbers (although extremely unlikely in practice).
The bug can be demonstrated by replacing the prandom_bytes_state
call with "rand = entropy;"
