      <title>CVE-2023-53702 — s390/crypto: use vector instructions only if available for ChaCha20</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2023-53702</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;s390/crypto: use vector instructions only if available for ChaCha20&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Commit 349d03ffd5f6 (&amp;#34;crypto: s390 - add crypto library interface for
ChaCha20&amp;#34;) added a library interface to the s390 specific ChaCha20
implementation. However no check was added to verify if the required
facilities are installed before branching into the assembler code.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If compiled into the kernel, this will lead to the following crash,
if vector instructions are not available:&lt;/p&gt;
