Subject: CVE-2023-52685: pstore: ram_core: fix possible overflow in persistent_ram_init_ecc()
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pstore: ram_core: fix possible overflow in persistent_ram_init_ecc()
In persistent_ram_init_ecc(), on 64-bit arches DIV_ROUND_UP() will return
64-bit value since persistent_ram_zone::buffer_size has type size_t which
is derived from the 64-bit *unsigned long*, while the ecc_blocks variable
this value gets assigned to has (always 32-bit) *int* type. Even if that
value fits into *int* type, an overflow is still possible when calculating
the size_t typed ecc_total variable further below since there's no cast to
any 64-bit type before multiplication. Declaring the ecc_blocks variable
as *size_t* should fix this mess...
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with the SVACE static
analysis tool.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2023-52685 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
