In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/dasd: Do not complete a failed ESE read as successful
dasd_int_handler() completes an NRF read of an unallocated ESE track by
calling ese_read() and unconditionally marking the request
DASD_CQR_SUCCESS. dasd_eckd_ese_read() can return an error before it has
zeroed the destination buffer: a failed sense-data parse or a current
track outside the requested range both return early, leaving the
destination pages untouched. The request is still completed successfully,
so the block layer is handed stale / uninitialized memory instead of
zeros.
Check the ese_read() return value and fail the request through the normal
error path instead of forcing DASD_CQR_SUCCESS.
