CVE-2023-53702
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/crypto: use vector instructions only if available for ChaCha20
Commit 349d03ffd5f6 ("crypto: s390 - add crypto library interface for ChaCha20") added a library interface to the s390 specific ChaCha20 implementation. However no check was added to verify if the required facilities are installed before branching into the assembler code.
If compiled into the kernel, this will lead to the following crash, if vector instructions are not available:
Fix this by adding a missing MACHINE_HAS_VX check.
