When we look for microcode blobs, we first try builtin and if that doesn't succeed, we fallback to the initrd supplied to the kernel. However, at some point doing boot, that initrd gets jettisoned and we shouldn't access it anymore. But we do, as the below KASAN report shows. That's because find_microcode_in_initrd() doesn't check whether the initrd is still valid or not. So do that. ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in find_cpio_data Read of size 1 by task swapper/1/0 page:ffffea0000db9d40 count:0 mapcount:0 mapping: (null) index:0x1 flags: 0x100000000000000() raw: 0100000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000001 00000000ffffffff raw: dead000000000100 dead000000000200 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 page dumped because: kasan: bad access detected CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Tainted: G W 4.10.0-rc5-debug-00075-g2dbde22 #3 Hardware name: Dell Inc.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
