commit a52e5cdbe8016d4e3e6322fd93d71afddb9a5af9 upstream.
The code which handles the ipl report is searching for a free location
in memory where it could copy the component and certificate entries to.
It checks for intersection between the sections required for the kernel
and the component/certificate data area, but fails to check whether
the data structures linking these data areas together intersect.
This might cause the iplreport copy code to overwrite the iplreport
itself. Fix this by adding two addtional intersection checks.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
