Subject: CVE-2026-74466: s390/zcrypt: Close speculative mem read possibility
Date: Sat, 15 Aug 2026 21:25:47 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026081533-CVE-2026-74466-e525@gregkh> (raw)
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/zcrypt: Close speculative mem read possibility
The domain value is extracted from a given CCA or EP11 ioctl struct
when a CPRB is about to be sent. Thus this is a user controlled value.
Under some special conditions (custom device node used, administrative
load) this value is used as an array index after bounds checking, but
without speculation barrier.
Add the missing array_index_nospec() call to prevent speculative
execution where this domain value is used.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-74466 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
