Title: Linux IBM S/390 Kernel SACF Instruction Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
The Linux Kernel on IBM S/390 platforms is prone to a local privilege-escalation vulnerability. The security vulnerability occurs in the handling of the SACF (Set Address Space Control Fast) instruction. The issue appears to affect 2.6 releases on the affected platform and is addressed in version 2.6.10. No further information about this vulnerability is known at this time.
A local attacker may exploit this vulnerability to escalate privileges.
