Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's s390/lcs network driver. An incorrect function pointer type in the lcs_start_xmit() function could lead to a system crash or termination of a process. This issue arises when Kernel Control Flow Integrity (kCFI), a security feature designed to prevent certain types of attacks, is enabled. A local attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) on the system.
