Subject: [PATCH v7 1/5] s390/sclp: Make parsing of received event buffers more robust
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 09:40:02 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260923074006.3962077-2-egorenar@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260923074006.3962077-1-egorenar@linux.ibm.com>

Validate header fields of SCCB and event buffers to protect from potential
out-of-range memory accesses which might be caused by malformed hardware
responses.
