Subject: [PATCH v1 1/1] s390/zcrypt: Validate length in reply before using it
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2026 16:04:39 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260820140439.892324-2-dengler@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260820140439.892324-1-dengler@linux.ibm.com>

The length information in the reply is used to copy the key token to
the target buffer. An invalid information in t->len of the reply may
cause an over-read of the target buffer and also a over-write of the
target buffer. To prevent that, check t->len before using it.

As the available space in destination and source buffer is always
larger than the valid length value in the parameter block in the
reply, compare t->len with this (already validated) length
information. As a side effect, this check also prevents buffer
over-read and over-write.
