Doc Text:	A flaw was found in the KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) subsystem of the Linux kernel, affecting the s390 PCI implementation. When a guest operating system registers interrupt requests (IRQs) without a specific summary bit, the system incorrectly stores an invalid memory address. This improper handling of memory addresses can lead to system instability, potentially resulting in a denial of service for the host system.	Story Points:	---

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-13 14:30:56 UTC

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

KVM: s390: pci: Fix handling of AIF enable without AISB

When a guest seeks to register IRQs without a summary bit specified,
ensure that the associated GAITE then stores 0 for the guest AISB
location instead of virt_to_phys(page_address(NULL)).
