Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

s390/dasd: Propagate partial completion length across ERP recovery

dasd_default_erp_postaction() copies the timing and device state from

the finished ERP request back to the original request but drops

proc_bytes. A request that was partially completed, an ESE read of a

not-yet-allocated track returns fewer bytes than requested, and then

recovered through the ERP chain loses its partial-completion length.

__dasd_cleanup_cqr() then sees proc_bytes == 0 and completes the whole

request instead of requeueing the remainder, silently returning zeroed

data for the part that was never read.

Carry proc_bytes over to the original request like the other

per-request state.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-89456?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine.
