This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed- bionic' to 'verification-done-bionic'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-bionic' to 'verification-failed- bionic'.
If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

The bug description the commits fix is as follows: Description: qeth: Fix potential array overrun in cmd/rc lookup Symptom: Infinite loop when processing a received cmd. Problem: qeth_get_ipa_cmd_name() and qeth_get_ipa_msg() are used to build human-readable messages for received cmd data. == Fixes == 065a2cdcbdf8 ("s390: qeth_core_mpc: Use ARRAY_SIZE instead of reimplementing its function") 048a7f8b4ec0 ("s390: qeth: Fix potential array overrun in cmd/rc lookup") == Regression Potential == Low. Limited to s390. == Test Case == A test kernel was built with these two patches and tested by IBM. The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug. Description: qeth: Fix potential array overrun in cmd/rc lookup Symptom: Infinite loop when processing a received cmd. Problem: qeth_get_ipa_cmd_name() and qeth_get_ipa_msg() are used to build human-readable messages for received cmd data. They store the to-be translated value in the last entry of a global array, and then iterate over each entry until they found the queried value (and the corresponding message string). If there is no prior match, the lookup is intended to stop at the final entry (which was previously prepared). If two qeth devices are concurrently processing a received cmd, one lookup can over-write the last entry of the global array while a second lookup is in process. This second lookup will then never hit its stop-condition, and loop. Solution: Remove the modification of the global array, and limit the number of iterations to the size of the array. Upstream-ID: kernel 4.19 - 065a2cdcbdf8eb9aefb66e1a24b2d684b8b8852b - 048a7f8b4ec085d5c56ad4a3bf450389a4aed5f9 Should also be applied, to all other Ubuntu Releases in the field !
