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) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.165) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.1.105) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.6.46) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.10.5)
