In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/zcrypt: Fix missing mem scrub at clear key import in cca_clr2cipherkey()
The helper function _ip_cprb_helper() uses internal buffer memory for
building and processing CPRBs. After use this buffer was never
scrubbed which could lead to leaving for example clear key material in
memory which could be exposed via tricky reuse of this same memory.
Extend the _ip_cprb_helper() function with another parameter 'scrub'
used to steer scrubbing of this buffer. So now the caller has the
opportunity to decide if scrubbing is needed or not.
Extend the clear key to secure key token import process in function
cca_clr2cipherkey() to tell the helper function from above to scrub
the cprb buffer when the clear key value is part of the request data.
Add explicit scrubbing on return from function cca_clr2cipherkey() for
the random EXOR buffer and the cprb buffer.
Overall this cleans the internal used buffer in case of clear key
import to prevent sensitive data to get exposed.

BOD 26-04 (CISA's remediation timeline, Table 1)14 days if the affected system is publicly exposed; Fix on system upgrade if it is not.
In CISA KEV no (CISA's KEV catalog) · Automatable no (CISA's BOD 26-04 default) · Technical impact total (CISA's BOD 26-04 default). Where an input reads “CISA's BOD 26-04 default”, no one has published it for this CVE, and CISA's implementation guidance says: “If “Automatable” and “Technical Impact” information items about a CVE ID are not available and the CVE ID is not in the KEV Catalog, CISA will treat its values as “no” and “total,” respectively, until CISA or a third party provides metadata about the CVE ID. CISA will always provide the Vulnrichment data for a CVE ID listed in the KEV Catalog.” Whether your system is publicly exposed is yours to answer. BOD 26-04 binds US Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies; for anyone else it is CISA's published timeline, a reference rather than an obligation. The directive · how EchelonGraph applies it
