Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
In the s390/zcrypt component, the functions
xcrb msg to type6cprb msgx() and xcrb msg to type6 ep11cprb msgx() copy user space messages into a kernel buffer based on the message length. Because subsequent processing requires the message to be adjusted to a 4-byte length, up to 3 bytes of uninitialized kernel memory may be forwarded, potentially exposing sensitive kernel memory to the crypto card firmware.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
