    s390/ptrace: fix PSW mask check · dab6cf55
    Martin Schwidefsky authored
    The PSW mask check of the PTRACE_POKEUSR_AREA command is incorrect.
    The PSW_MASK_USER define contains the PSW_MASK_ASC bits, the ptrace
    interface accepts all combinations for the address-space-control
    bits. To protect the kernel space the PSW mask check in ptrace needs
    to reject the address-space-control bit combination for home space.
    
    Fixes CVE-2014-3534
