In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/dasd: Do not complete a failed ESE read as successful
dasd_int_handler() completes an NRF read of an unallocated ESE track by
calling ese_read() and unconditionally marking the request
DASD_CQR_SUCCESS. dasd_eckd_ese_read() can return an error before it has
zeroed the destination buffer: a failed sense-data parse or a current
track outside the requested range both return early, leaving the
destination pages untouched. The request is still completed successfully,
so the block layer is handed stale / uninitialized memory instead of
zeros.
Check the ese_read() return value and fail the request through the normal
error path instead of forcing DASD_CQR_SUCCESS.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's s390/dasd component. The dasd_int_handler() function incorrectly marks failed Extended Sense Data (ESE) read operations as successful when processing unallocated ESE tracks. This leads to the block layer receiving stale or uninitialized memory instead of properly zeroed memory. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to potentially gain access to sensitive information, resulting in information disclosure.
