Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2014 15:11:09 -0500 From: Matthew Garrett <matthew.garrett@...ula.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: keescook@...omium.org, gregkh@...uxfoundation.org, hpa@...or.com, linux-efi@...r.kernel.org, jmorris@...ei.org, linux-security-module@...r.kernel.org, Matthew Garrett <matthew.garrett@...ula.com> Subject: [PATCH 08/12] kexec: Disable at runtime if trusted_kernel is true kexec permits the loading and execution of arbitrary code in ring 0, which permits the modification of the running kernel.
