Subject: CVE-2024-26957: s390/zcrypt: fix reference counting on zcrypt card objects

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

s390/zcrypt: fix reference counting on zcrypt card objects

Tests with hot-plugging crytpo cards on KVM guests with debug
kernel build revealed an use after free for the load field of
the struct zcrypt_card. The reason was an incorrect reference
handling of the zcrypt card object which could lead to a free
of the zcrypt card object while it was still in use.

This is an example of the slab message:

    kernel: FIX kmalloc-96: Marking all objects used

The fix is simple: Before use of the queue not only the queue object
but also the card object needs to increase it's reference count
with a call to zcrypt_card_get(). Similar after use of the queue
not only the queue but also the card object's reference count is
decreased with zcrypt_card_put().

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-26957 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
