CVE-2026-93238
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: s390/vfio-ap: fix potential use of uninitialized apm_filtered bitmap The DECLARE_BITMAP(apm_filtered, AP_DEVICES) macro allocates the bitmap on the stack without zero-initializing it. In vfio_ap_mdev_hot_plug_cfg(), the vfio_ap_mdev_filter_matrix() function is only called to initialize and populate apm_filtered if either filter_adapters or filter_domains is true. If the hot plug configuration change only adds control domains (meaning filter_cdoms is true, but filter_adapters and filter_domains are both false), vfio_ap_mdev_filter_matrix() is bypassed. Consequently, apm_filtered is passed to reset_queues_for_apids() with uninitialized stack garbage. This can cause reset_queues_for_apids() to interpret arbitrary stack garbage bits as valid APIDs to reset, potentially performing unintended guest hardware queue resets. Fix this by zero-initializing the apm_filtered bitmap at the beginning of vfio_ap_mdev_hot_plug_cfg() using bitmap_zero().
