| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
The channel-subsystem-driver incorrectly assumes that an I/O-subchannel's drvdata points to a struct io subchannel private for devices bound to a non-default I/O subchannel driver, such as the vfio ccw driver. This results in an out-of-bounds read access during each scan when devices are removed from the cio ignore list using a command such as
echo free >/proc/cio ignore. The fix relies on a driver-independent online indication using struct subchannel->config.ena, which represents the driver’s requested subchannel-enabled state.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
