Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/sclp: Prevent release of buffer in I/O
When a task waiting for completion of a Store Data operation is
interrupted, an attempt is made to halt this operation. If this attempt
fails due to a hardware or firmware problem, there is a chance that the
SCLP facility might store data into buffers referenced by the original
operation at a later time.
Handle this situation by not releasing the referenced data buffers if
the halt attempt fails. For current use cases, this might result in a
leak of few pages of memory in case of a rare hardware/firmware
malfunction.
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (< 4.19.320)
• linux linux kernel (>= 4.20 < 5.4.282)
• linux linux kernel (>= 5.5 < 5.10.224)
