In case a race\nis detacted, try dat_entry_walk() again."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["arch/s390/kvm/gmap/dat.c"],"versions":[{"version":"8e03e8316eb242af307d1c789d09f1a1457cf9a3","lessThan":"c958f0498891203fddf2764b28f8b102c6bfd719","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"8e03e8316eb242af307d1c789d09f1a1457cf9a3","lessThan":"27554b9505ddfc0aeab466aeb60929dfa17284c7","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["arch/s390/kvm/gmap/dat.c"],"versions":[{"version":"7.0","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"7.0","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2.9","lessThanOrEqual":"7.2.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.3","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"7.0","versionEndExcluding":"7.2.9"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"7.0","versionEndExcluding":"7.3"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c958f0498891203fddf2764b28f8b102c6bfd719"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/27554b9505ddfc0aeab466aeb60929dfa17284c7"}],"title":"KVM: s390: Fix potential races in dat skey functions","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
