In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: s390/zcrypt: Improve CCA CPRB length and overflow checks The xcrb_msg_to_type6cprb_msgx() function lacks proper input validation, creating security vulnerabilities: 1. Integer overflow after CEIL4 alignment: Signed int variables could overflow during 4-byte boundary alignment, causing undersized buffer allocations or incorrect bounds checking. 2. Missing minimum size validation: The CPRBX structure is copied from userspace without verifying sufficient buffer length. Undersized buffers cause uninitialized memory access when reading structure fields like cprbx.cprb_len and cprbx.domain. 3. Arithmetic overflow in sum calculations: Adding control block and data block sizes could overflow, bypassing size checks and enabling buffer overflows. Fix by using size_t for length calculations, adding U32_MAX boundary checks after alignment, validating minimum control block size before copying from userspace, and detecting sum calculation overflows.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's s390/zcrypt component, specifically within the `xcrb_msg_to_type6cprb_msgx()` function. This vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation, which can lead to integer overflows during memory allocation and arithmetic operations, as well as a lack of minimum size validation for the CPRBX structure. A local attacker could exploit these issues to cause buffer overflows, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution or information disclosure.
