Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: s390: pci: Fix handling of AIF enable without AISB When a guest seeks to register IRQs without a summary bit specified, ensure that the associated GAITE then stores 0 for the guest AISB location instead of virt_to_phys(page_address(NULL)).
A flaw was found in the KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) subsystem of the Linux kernel, affecting the s390 PCI implementation. When a guest operating system registers interrupt requests (IRQs) without a specific summary bit, the system incorrectly stores an invalid memory address.
This improper handling of memory addresses can lead to system instability, potentially resulting in a denial of service for the host system. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 5.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).
Weakness: CWE-476. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.
Red Hat does not currently list a fixing RHSA for this CVE.
Affected products named by the advisory: Red Hat package: kernel-rt.
