Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
iommu/s390: Fix memory corruption when using identity domain<br />
<br />
zpci_get_iommu_ctrs() returns counter information to be reported as part<br />
of device statistics; these counters are stored as part of the s390_domain.<br />
The problem, however, is that the identity domain is not backed by an<br />
s390_domain and so the conversion via to_s390_domain() yields a bad address<br />
that is zero&#39;d initially and read on-demand later via a sysfs read.<br />
These counters aren&#39;t necessary for the identity domain; just return NULL<br />
in this case.<br />
<br />
This issue was discovered via KASAN with reports that look like:<br />
BUG: KASAN: global-out-of-bounds in zpci_fmb_enable_device<br />
when using the identity domain for a device on s390.
