Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
s390/cio: fix out-of-bounds access on cio_ignore free<br />
<br />
The channel-subsystem-driver scans for newly available devices whenever<br />
device-IDs are removed from the cio_ignore list using a command such as:<br />
<br />
echo free >/proc/cio_ignore<br />
<br />
Since an I/O device scan might interfer with running I/Os, commit<br />
172da89ed0ea ("s390/cio: avoid excessive path-verification requests")<br />
introduced an optimization to exclude online devices from the scan.<br />
<br />
The newly added check for online devices incorrectly assumes that<br />
an I/O-subchannel&#39;s drvdata points to a struct io_subchannel_private.<br />
For devices that are bound to a non-default I/O subchannel driver, such<br />
as the vfio_ccw driver, this results in an out-of-bounds read access<br />
during each scan.<br />
<br />
Fix this by changing the scan logic to rely on a driver-independent<br />
online indication. For this we can use struct subchannel->config.ena,<br />
which is the driver&#39;s requested subchannel-enabled state. Since I/Os<br />
can only be started on enabled subchannels, this matches the intent<br />
of the original optimization of not scanning devices where I/O might<br />
be running.
