NVD Description

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

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

KVM: s390: Take srcu when importing watchpoint data

__import_wp_info() backs up the original guest memory contents of a watchpoint with read_guest_abs(), which is kvm_read_guest() and therefore resolves the memslot via __kvm_memslots(). That requires kvm->srcu (or kvm->slots_lock) to be held, otherwise a concurrent memslot update can free the memslots array under us once its SRCU grace period has elapsed.

As this is not fast path, following lock ordering (mutex first, then srcu) take the big hammer and hold the srcu for the full import.
