DescriptionCVE.org

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

s390/dasd: Propagate partial completion length across ERP recovery

dasd_default_erp_postaction() copies the timing and device state from the finished ERP request back to the original request but drops proc_bytes. A request that was partially completed, an ESE read of a not-yet-allocated track returns fewer bytes than requested, and then recovered through the ERP chain loses its partial-completion length. __dasd_cleanup_cqr() then sees proc_bytes == 0 and completes the whole request instead of requeueing the remainder, silently returning zeroed data for the part that was never read.

Carry proc_bytes over to the original request like the other per-request state.

AnalysisAI

Silent data corruption in the Linux kernel's s390/dasd subsystem causes local processes to silently receive zeroed data for the unread portion of partially-completed ESE (Extent Space Efficient) disk reads that pass through the ERP (Error Recovery Procedure) chain. The root cause is dasd_default_erp_postaction() omitting the proc_bytes field when copying per-request state back from the ERP request to the originating request, which causes __dasd_cleanup_cqr() to treat the request as fully satisfied and return without requeuing the unread remainder. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Three specific conditions must simultaneously hold: (1) the host must be an IBM Z (s390x) system with the Linux kernel's s390/dasd driver active; (2) the target storage volume must be configured as an ESE (Extent Space Efficient, thin-provisioned) DASD volume where some tracks are not yet physically allocated; (3) a read I/O request must span an unallocated track, causing a partial completion that triggers the kernel's ERP (Error Recovery Procedure) recovery chain. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Real-world risk is materially lower than the CVSS 7.0 base score suggests. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade to a patched kernel: 6.12.109 or later for the 6.12 stable series, 6.18.50 or later for the 6.18 stable series, or 7.2.4 or later for the 7.2 stable series; the fix is also included in 7.3-rc1 and mainline. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all Linux systems running on s390 architecture and document current kernel versions to identify affected platforms. …
