Doc Text:	A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's s390/zcrypt component. An incorrect upper limit check for the domain value when processing an EP11 Cryptographic Coprocessor Request Block (CPRB) can allow a local user on custom device nodes to access heap memory. This could lead to information disclosure or other memory corruption related issues.	Story Points:	---

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-28 07:46:25 UTC

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

s390/zcrypt: Fix wrong domain value verification with EP11 CPRBs

There is a wrong upper limit check for the domain value when an EP11
CPRB is processed for sending to a crypto card. This check is only
active on custom device nodes but may lead to access heap memory
behind perms->adm when an administrative CPRB is sent.
Add correct limit (AP_DOMAINS = 256) checking to fix this.
