Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's s390 zcrypt module. The `cca_ecc2protkey()` function, responsible for handling Common Cryptographic Architecture (CCA) Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) private key requests, does not properly validate the length of the key token. This allows a local attacker to provide a malformed key token, potentially leading to memory corruption and a denial of service.
