NewCVE-2026-80555 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Echo:latest linux-6.12 to version 6.12.107-1~deb12u1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream linux-6.12 package and not the linux-6.12 package as distributed by Echo.
See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/vfio_ccw: Free all memory if cp_init() fails
The routine cp_free() is called to unpin/free any memory once an I/O is completed successfully, or if cp_prefetch() fails. But if cp_init() fails, and cp->initialized is not enabled, the same routine cannot be used to free all the memory.
An attempt to address this exists in ccwchain_handle_ccw(), where a single call to ccwchain_free() is made for the currently-processed CCW segment. But this will leak other segments (created as a result of a Transfer in Channel) that had been allocated as part of the same channel program.
Address this by performing the cleanup outside of the recursive ccwchain_handle_ccw()/ccwchain_loop_tic() logic.
