Doc Text:	A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's s390/zcrypt component. This vulnerability arises from insufficient validation of the length of CCA AES cipher key requests. A local attacker could exploit this by providing a specially crafted key token, which may lead to a buffer overflow. This could result in a denial of service, making the system unavailable.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-13 14:30:58 UTC

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

s390/zcrypt: Validate length for CCA AES cipher key requests

cca_cipher2protkey() derives the copy length for the CPRB parameter
block directly from the length field in the key token. Reject the
request early if the token length exceeds the available space in the
parameter block.
