Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
s390/zcrypt: Pad trailing CCA or EP11 message with zeros<br />
<br />
The both functions xcrb_msg_to_type6cprb_msgx() and<br />
xcrb_msg_to_type6_ep11cprb_msgx() copy the user space message into a<br />
kernel buffer based on the message length. But on further processing<br />
the message is supposed to be 4 byte length adjusted. Thus up to 3<br />
bytes of uninitialized kernel memory are forwarded to further<br />
processing steps and may unwanted expose kernel memory to the crypto<br />
card firmware.<br />
<br />
This patch contains code to pad the gap between user space copied<br />
message and message buffer length sent down to further processing of<br />
the CCA or EP11 message to zeros.
