Severity CVSS v4.0:
Pending analysis
Type:
CWE-125
Out-of-bounds Read

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
KVM: s390: pci: fix GAIT table indexing due to double-scaling pointer arithmetic<br />
<br />
kvm_s390_pci_aif_enable(), kvm_s390_pci_aif_disable(), and<br />
aen_host_forward() index the GAIT by manually multiplying the index<br />
with sizeof(struct zpci_gaite).<br />
<br />
Since aift->gait is already a struct zpci_gaite pointer, this<br />
double-scales the offset, accessing element aisb*16 instead of aisb.<br />
<br />
This causes out-of-bounds accesses when aisb >= 32 (with<br />
ZPCI_NR_DEVICES=512)<br />
<br />
Fix by removing the erroneous sizeof multiplication.
