Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's s390/diag component. A local user could exploit a missing bounds check when handling a user-controlled 'level' variable, which is used to read from an array. This vulnerability could lead to information disclosure through speculative execution, potentially allowing an attacker to access sensitive data.
