Subject: CVE-2025-38257: s390/pkey: Prevent overflow in size calculation for memdup_user()
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/pkey: Prevent overflow in size calculation for memdup_user()
Number of apqn target list entries contained in 'nr_apqns' variable is
determined by userspace via an ioctl call so the result of the product in
calculation of size passed to memdup_user() may overflow.
In this case the actual size of the allocated area and the value
describing it won't be in sync leading to various types of unpredictable
behaviour later.
Use a proper memdup_array_user() helper which returns an error if an
overflow is detected. Note that it is different from when nr_apqns is
initially zero - that case is considered valid and should be handled in
subsequent pkey_handler implementations.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org).
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2025-38257 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:
