In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: s390/cio: fix out-of-bounds access on cioignore free The channel-subsystem-driver scans for newly available devices whenever device-IDs are removed from the cioignore list using a command such as: echo free >/proc/cioignore Since an I/O device scan might interfer with running I/Os, commit 172da89ed0ea ("s390/cio: avoid excessive path-verification requests") introduced an optimization to exclude online devices from the scan. The newly added check for online devices incorrectly assumes that an I/O-subchannel's drvdata points to a struct iosubchannelprivate. For devices that are bound to a non-default I/O subchannel driver, such as the vfioccw driver, this results in an out-of-bounds read access during each scan. Fix this by changing the scan logic to rely on a driver-independent online indication. For this we can use struct subchannel->config.ena, which is the driver's requested subchannel-enabled state. Since I/Os can only be started on enabled subchannels, this matches the intent of the original optimization of not scanning devices where I/O might be running.
