      <title>CVE-2024-26957 — s390/zcrypt: fix reference counting on zcrypt card objects</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2024-26957</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux, linux_kernel&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;s390/zcrypt: fix reference counting on zcrypt card objects&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tests with hot-plugging crytpo cards on KVM guests with debug
kernel build revealed an use after free for the load field of
the struct zcrypt_card. The reason was an incorrect reference
handling of the zcrypt card object which could lead to a free
of the zcrypt card object while it was still in use.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is an example of the slab message:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;kernel: 0x00000000885a7512-0x00000000885a7513 @offset=1298. First byte 0x68 instead of 0x6b
