Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/cpum_sf: Fix and protect memory allocation of SDBs with mutex
Reservation of the PMU hardware is done at first event creation
and is protected by a pair of mutex_lock() and mutex_unlock().
After reservation of the PMU hardware the memory
required for the PMUs the event is to be installed on is
allocated by allocate_buffers() and alloc_sampling_buffer().
This done outside of the mutex protection.
Without mutex protection two or more concurrent invocations of
perf_event_init() may run in parallel.
This can lead to allocation of Sample Data Blocks (SDBs)
multiple times for the same PMU.
Prevent this and protect memory allocation of SDBs by
mutex.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's s390 CPU-measurement sampling facility. This vulnerability allows a local user to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) through resource exhaustion or kernel instability. Because memory allocation for the Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU) is executed without proper lock synchronization, concurrent performance event requests can trigger duplicate buffer allocations for the same hardware unit.
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated as Low severity because exploitation is restricted to local execution on IBM Z (s390x) systems and requires winning a race condition between simultaneous performance monitoring requests. The scope of the flaw is limited to the s390x platform, meaning deployments across other CPU architectures are unaffected. Additionally, the consequences are limited to redundant buffer allocations causing resource exhaustion or localized denial of service, without enabling privilege escalation or information disclosure.
