AI-suggested
A fix for this vulnerability has been implemented in the Linux kernel by replacing the 'ly' instruction with 'llgf' in the s390 BPF code. Users should apply the official Linux kernel updates that include this patch to remediate the issue. Patch status is not explicitly provided in the input; therefore, check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: s390/bpf: Replace ly instruction with llgf cpu_nr is a 32 bit value and BPF_REG_0 is a 64 bit register, when ly loads the cpu_nr into BPF_REG_0 it does not zero the upper bits, but llgf does.
