Description

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: data exception: 0007 ilc:3 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 6.3.0-rc7+ #11 Hardware name: IBM 3931 A01 704 (KVM/Linux) Krnl PSW : 0704e00180000000 000000001857277a (chacha20_vx+0x32/0x818) R:0 T:1 IO:1 EX:1 Key:0 M:1 W:0 P:0 AS:3
