This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled s390/archrandom: add parameter check for s390_arch_random_generate to the 4.19-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: s390-archrandom-add-parameter-check-for-s390_arch_ra.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 65175f9f4098f251efd4b7b7ddfd076299c7bc21 Author: Harald Freudenberger <freude@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Apr 20 08:23:12 2021 +0200 s390/archrandom: add parameter check for s390_arch_random_generate [ Upstream commit 28096067686c5a5cbd4c35b079749bd805df5010 ] A review of the code showed, that this function which is exposed within the whole kernel should do a parameter check for the amount of bytes requested. If this requested bytes is too high an unsigned int overflow could happen causing this function to try to memcpy a really big memory chunk. This is not a security issue as there are only two invocations of this function from arch/s390/include/asm/archrandom.h and both are not exposed to userland.
