Summary

In the Linux kernel for KVM on s390, the _gaccess_shadow_fault() function was missing a radix_tree_preload() call, which could prevent forward progress. The missing call was added and the function was split to simplify locking.

Risk Assessment

Missing radix_tree_preload() could lead to deadlocks or failures in radix tree operations, potentially affecting KVM stability on s390.

Recommendation

Install the updated Linux kernel with this fix to ensure proper operation of _gaccess_shadow_fault().

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: s390: vsie: Add missing radix_tree_preload() in _gaccess_shadow_fault() Add missing radix_tree_preload() in _gaccess_shadow_fault() to guarantee forward progress. The core of _gaccess_shadow_fault() has been split into ___gaccess_shadow_fault() in order to simplify locking.
