Technical description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/fpu: Fix false-positive kmsan report in fpu_vstl()
A false-positive kmsan report is detected when running ping command.
An inline assembly instruction 'vstl' can write varied amount of bytes
depending on value of 'index' argument. If 'index' > 0, 'vstl' writes
at least 2 bytes.
clang generates kmsan write helper call depending on inline assembly
constraints. Constraints are evaluated compile-time, but value of
'index' argument is known only at runtime.
clang currently generates call to __msan_instrument_asm_store with 1 byte
as size. Manually call kmsan function to indicate correct amount of bytes
written and fix false-positive report.
This change fixes following kmsan reports:

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2025-68751?
CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2025-68751 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
