Subject: [PATCH v1 1/1] s390/crypto: Fix out-of-bounds access in zcrypt message type handlers
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 16:12:52 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260826141252.113706-2-freude@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260826141252.113706-1-freude@linux.ibm.com>

Add length validation before accessing reply message structures in
zcrypt_msgtype6_receive(), zcrypt_msgtype6_receive_ep11(), and
zcrypt_msgtype50_receive() to prevent out-of-bounds reads and
potential kernel memory disclosure.

The handlers now verify that reply->len is sufficient before accessing
structure fields like cprb_ver_id. When validation fails, only the
message type field is overwritten with an error code, preventing
attackers from mixing user-controlled request data with short hardware
responses to bypass validation and leak kernel memory.

Fixes: 3b6245fd303f ("s390/zcrypt: Separate msgtype implementation from card modules.")
