CVE-2026-80548

Estado: RecibidaAlta (8.8)—

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

s390/vfio_ccw: Selectively expand io_mutex

The io_mutex was defined to serialize the io_regions, but then has also sort of been associated with the I/O themselves because of the close relationship they share.

With the handful of races that are possible, the choices are either to: A) expand the scope of io_mutex to close these remaining windows, or B) reduce the scope of io_mutex to just io_region, and introduce a new lock mechanism for the remaining I/O resources

This patch implements A, since B brings with it a lot more interactions that would need to be tracked and kept in a correct hierarchy.

It also takes advantage of the workqueue element for cp_free() that now gets called out of fsm_notoper(), which could be invoked out of an interrupt context and thus cannot acquire a mutex itself.

CVSS

Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).

🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK

Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.

Vulnerabilidad local en kernel Linux (AV:L, PR:L) sin interacción del usuario. La resolución de race conditions en mutex de I/O permite escalada de privilegios (S:C con C:H, I:H, A:H). T1068 por acceso local. Impactos: ejecución de código elevada y potencial DoS por corrupción de recursos.

Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
