Kernel: s390: page table upgrade in secondary address mode may lead to privilege escalation

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel on s390 architecture. The issue occurs on multiprocessing systems when one s390 CPU is in Secondary Address Mode and another CPU does a kernel page table upgrade. An inter-processor interrupt IPI is then sent to each active CPU to update the control registers...

USN-4343-1 linux vulnerability

Al Viro discovered that the Linux kernel for s390x systems did not properly perform page table upgrades for kernel sections that use secondary address mode. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service system crash or execute arbitrary code...
