Summary
s390/zcrypt: Improve EP11 CPRB domain handling with ASN.1 parsing
Details

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

s390/zcrypt: Improve EP11 CPRB domain handling with ASN.1 parsing

The zcryptmsgtype6sendep11cprb() function uses fragile struct overlays to access and modify the domain field in the EP11 CPRB payload, creating maintainability and security concerns: 1. Struct overlay approach (pld_hdr) assumes fixed payload structure and doesn't validate the actual ASN.1 encoding. 2. Complex length format detection logic is error-prone and doesn't properly validate bounds at each parsing step. 3. Direct struct member access bypasses proper ASN.1 validation.

Fix by replacing struct overlays with explicit ASN.1 parsing that validates each field (payload tag/length, function tag/length/value, optional domain tag/length/value) with proper bounds checking at every step. Add asn1intencode() helper function to safely write integer values with correct endianness conversion. This makes the code consistent with the validation pattern introduced with the rework of the xcrbmsgtotype6ep11cprb_msgx() function.
