2013-05-10docs: minor: fix mentioning of Documentation/Daniel Borkmann1-1/+1
The Documentation/ folder no longer exists. Either everything important can be found in the man pages or other documentation files. Fix the mentioning of Documentation/. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com>
2013-04-11docs: move some of them to the root directoryDaniel Borkmann1-0/+833
Lets move CodingStyle, SubmittingPatches, and Sponsors into the root directory of netsniff-ng and remove the Documentation folder. Some of those files are quite bloated, and most of these things should be in the man-pages anyway. They should be the only big sources of documentation, nothing else. The rest is currently put here: http://pub.netsniff-ng.org/docs/ Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com>

x86/microcode: Do not access the initrd after it has been freed
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.
