CVE-2024-45005 (Moderate severity, published 2024-09-03)
CVSS score: 4.4 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CWE: CWE-665
Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

KVM: s390: fix validity interception issue when gisa is switched off

We might run into a SIE validity if gisa has been disabled either via using
kernel parameter "kvm.use_gisa=0" or by setting the related sysfs
attribute to N (echo N >/sys/module/kvm/parameters/use_gisa).

The validity is caused by an invalid value in the SIE control block's
gisa designation. That happens because we pass the uninitialized gisa
origin to virt_to_phys() before writing it to the gisa designation.

To fix this we return 0 in kvm_s390_get_gisa_desc() if the origin is 0.
kvm_s390_get_gisa_desc() is used to determine which gisa designation to
set in the SIE control block. A value of 0 in the gisa designation disables
gisa usage.

The issue surfaces in the host kernel with the following kernel message as
soon a new kvm guest start is attemted.
