Title
riscv: module: Fix out-of-bounds relocation access
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: riscv: module: Fix out-of-bounds relocation access The current code allows rel[j] to access one element past the end of the relocation section. Simplify to num_relocations which is equivalent to the existing size expression.
