commita52e5cdbe8upstream. 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.
