What it is

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

s390/vfio_ccw: Limit the number of channel program segments

The processing of channel programs, and the CCWs within them, is done

recursively. As such, there is an arbitrary (but not architectural)

limit to the number of CCWs that can exist in a single channel program.

The vfio-ccw logic breaks these channel programs into segments whenever

it encounters a Transfer-In-Channel (TIC) CCW, and the combined number

of segments count towards the global limit. Impose an equivalent limit

to the number of segments until such logic can be made non-recursive.
