Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: s390/dasd: fix Oops in dasd_alias_get_start_dev due to missing pavgroup Fix Oops in dasd_alias_get_start_dev() function caused by the pavgroup
pointer being NULL. The pavgroup pointer is checked on the entrance of the function but
without the lcu->lock being held. Therefore there is a race window
between dasd_alias_get_start_dev() and _lcu_update() which sets
pavgroup to NULL with the lcu->lock held. Fix by checking the pavgroup pointer with lcu->lock held.

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: s390/dasd: corrige Ups en dasd_alias_get_start_dev debido a la falta de pavgroup. Corrige Ups en la función dasd_alias_get_start_dev() causada porque el puntero pavgroup es NULL. El puntero pavgroup se verifica en la entrada de la función pero sin que se mantenga presionado el bloqueo lcu->. Por lo tanto, existe una ventana de ejecución entre dasd_alias_get_start_dev() y _lcu_update() que establece pavgroup en NULL con el bloqueo lcu->retenido. Para solucionarlo, compruebe el puntero de pavgroup con lcu->lock retenido.
