From 3091f5fc5f1df7741ddf326561384e0997eca2a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christophe Leroy Date: Wed, 13 Oct 2021 16:43:54 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Mark .opd section read-only .opd section contains function descriptors used to locate functions in the kernel. If someone is able to modify a function descriptor he will be able to run arbitrary kernel function instead of another. To avoid that, move .opd section inside read-only memory.
