CVE-2024-26620

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/vfio-ap: always filter entire AP matrix The vfio_ap_mdev_filter_matrix
function is called whenever a new adapter or domain is assigned to the
mdev. The purpose of the function is to update the guest’s AP configuration
by filtering the matrix of adapters and domains assigned to the mdev. When
an adapter or domain is assigned, only the APQNs associated with the APID
of the new adapter or APQI of the new domain are inspected. If an APQN does
not reference a queue device bound to the vfio_ap device driver, then it’s
APID will be filtered from the mdev’s matrix when updating the guest’s AP
configuration. Inspecting only the APID of the new adapter or APQI of the
new domain will result in passing AP queues through to a guest that are not
bound to the vfio_ap device driver under certain circumstances. Consider
the following: guest’s AP configuration (all also assigned to the mdev’s
matrix): 14.0004 14.0005 14.0006 16.0004 16.0005 16.0006 unassign domain 4
unbind queue 16.0005 assign domain 4 When domain 4 is re-assigned, since
only domain 4 will be inspected, the APQNs that will be examined will be:
14.0004 16.0004 Since both of those APQNs reference queue devices that are
bound to the vfio_ap device driver, nothing will get filtered from the
mdev’s matrix when updating the guest’s AP configuration. Consequently,
queue 16.0005 will get passed through despite not being bound to the
driver. This violates the linux device model requirement that a guest shall
only be given access to devices bound to the device driver facilitating
their pass-through. To resolve this problem, every adapter and domain
assigned to the mdev will be inspected when filtering the mdev’s matrix.
