CVE Request: Linux kernel: s390: crash due to linkage stack instruction

   Hello,

Linux kernel built for the s390 architecture(CONFIG_S390) is vulnerable to a crash due to low-address protection exception. It occurs when an application uses a linkage stack instruction.

An unprivileged user/application could use this flaw to crash the system resulting in DoS.

Upstream fix:
-------------
  -> https://git.kernel.org/linus/8d7f6690cedb83456edd41c9bd583783f0703bf0

Reference:
----------

Thank you.
