NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-uki-virt-addons package and not the kernel-uki-virt-addons package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

s390/fpu: Re-add exception handling in load_fpu_state()

With the recent rewrite of the fpu code exception handling for the lfpc instruction within load_fpu_state() was erroneously removed.

Add it again to prevent that loading invalid floating point register values cause an unhandled specification exception.
