NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt-64k-debug-devel package and not the kernel-rt-64k-debug-devel package as distributed by Centos.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

KVM: s390: Fix potential races in dat skey functions

When dat_cond_set_storage_key() finds a large page, it will conditionally set the storage key in absolute memory using large_crste_to_phys() to get the absolute address.

There is a race window between dat_entry_walk() and large_crste_to_phys(): the large page could have been split concurrently, and large_crste_to_phys() might be called with a crste that does not designate a large page, leading to crashes.

Similar issues were also present in dat_set_storage_key().

dat_get_storage_key() and dat_reset_reference_bit() did instead check for a potential concurrent splitting of the large page, but then handled it incorrectly.

Fix by performing a READ_ONCE on the crste pointer, checking and using the result, instead of dereferencing the pointer again. In case a race is detacted, try dat_entry_walk() again.
