Summary

In the Linux kernel's SCLP subsystem on s390, the NULL check for the SCCB address is performed after physical-to-virtual address translation. If the identity mapping does not start at zero, the check fails, potentially leading to incorrect memory access.

Risk Assessment

A local attacker can trigger incorrect kernel memory access, potentially leading to a kernel panic or information disclosure.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that performs the NULL check before address translation in the SCLP code.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: s390/sclp: Fix SCCB present check Tracing code called by the SCLP interrupt handler contains early exits if the SCCB address associated with an interrupt is NULL. This check is performed after physical to virtual address translation. If the kernel identity mapping does not start at address zero, the resulting virtual address is never zero, so that the NULL checks won't work. Subsequently this may result in incorrect accesses to the first page of the identity mapping. Fix this by introducing a function that handles the NULL case before address translation.
