CVE-2026-98403 affecting package kernel 6.6.157.1-1

Type: advisorySources: OSV

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: s390/boot: Avoid IPL parameter append past command line A command line may occupy all but the terminating byte of COMMAND_LINE_SIZE. In that case append_ipl_block_parm() passes a zero size to the IPL parameter conversion helpers and points the destination one byte past early_command_line. The helpers subtract one from the unsigned size and write the converted parameter outside the command line buffer. Convert the IPL parameter in the command line parsing buffer first. A parameter beginning with '=' can then replace the existing command line regardless of its length, while other parameters are appended only when space remains.
