Title
s390/vfio_ccw: Implement a crw lock
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: s390/vfio_ccw: Implement a crw lock Unlike the channel_program struct, which covers synchronous I/O submissions and asynchronous interrupts, the CRW region relies exclusively on asynchronous events coming from hardware. Implement a lock to manage the list of those payloads, to ensure they are read cohesively.
Severity

asynchronous interrupts, the CRW region relies\\nexclusively on asynchronous events coming from hardware.\\n\\nImplement a lock to manage the list of those payloads, to ensure\\nthey are read cohesively.\"}],\"affected\":[{\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"affectedData\":[{\"vendor\":\"Linux\",\"product\":\"Linux\",\"defaultStatus\":\"unaffected\",\"programFiles\":[\"drivers/s390/cio/vfio_ccw_chp.c\",\"drivers/s390/cio/vfio_ccw_drv.c\",\"drivers/s390/cio/vfio_ccw_ops.c\",\"drivers/s390/cio/vfio_ccw_private.h\"],\"repo\":\"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\"versions\":[{\"version\":\"3f02cb2fd9d2d9e8762102886e3e4b51285797ee\",\"lessThan\":\"3c94d4179bcc19e01b28db634c07a58b28116209\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"3f02cb2fd9d2d9e8762102886e3e4b51285797ee\",\"lessThan\":\"0edd222730a9d7ec98368aaf1d40ee2d8d862e61\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"3f02cb2fd9d2d9e8762102886e3e4b51285797ee\",\"lessThan\":\"a3d60ae24183eee352c8e87a0ff94c97cd87f156\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"3f02cb2fd9d2d9e8762102886e3e4b51285797ee\",\"lessThan\":\"49fa26b0df009dc1f420980bd71780e70615b83b\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"3f02cb2fd9d2d9e8762102886e3e4b51285797ee\",\"lessThan\":\"7902be374cbfc11c3435e1e87bf22195bf06a558\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"3f02cb2fd9d2d9e8762102886e3e4b51285797ee\",\"lessThan\":\"c76c4ee72bfc3824f4f491f18ed0323bf2e2daf9\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"3f02cb2fd9d2d9e8762102886e3e4b51285797ee\",\"lessThan\":\"16b0798024c0e9117e395829ddbbe70981c79d9c\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"}]},{\"vendor\":\"Linux\",\"product\":\"Linux\",\"defaultStatus\":\"affected\",\"programFiles\":[\"drivers/s390/cio/vfio_ccw_chp.c\",\"drivers/s390/cio/vfio_ccw_drv.c\",\"drivers/s390/cio/vfio_ccw_ops.c\",\"drivers/s390/cio/vfio_ccw_private.h\"],\"repo\":\"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\"versions\":[{\"version\":\"5.8\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"0\",\"lessThan\":\"5.8\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"5.15.218\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"5.15.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"6.1.185\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"6.1.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"6.6.154\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"6.6.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"6.12.105\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"6.12.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"6.18.46\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"6.18.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"7.1.10\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"7.1.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"7.2\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"*\",\"versionType\":\"original_commit_for_fix\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"}]}]}],\"metrics\":{\"cvssMetricV31\":[{\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"type\":\"Secondary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.1\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H\",\"baseScore\":8.8,\"baseSeverity\":\"HIGH\",\"attackVector\":\"LOCAL\",\"attackComplexity\":\"LOW\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"LOW\",\"userInteraction\":\"NONE\",\"scope\":\"CHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"integrityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"HIGH\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":2.0,\"impactScore\":6.0}]},\"references\":[{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0edd222730a9d7ec98368aaf1d40ee2d8d862e61\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/16b0798024c0e9117e395829ddbbe70981c79d9c\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3c94d4179bcc19e01b28db634c07a58b28116209\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/49fa26b0df009dc1f420980bd71780e70615b83b\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7902be374cbfc11c3435e1e87bf22195bf06a558\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a3d60ae24183eee352c8e87a0ff94c97cd87f156\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c76c4ee72bfc3824f4f491f18ed0323bf2e2daf9\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"}]}}",
