  - s390/mm: Fix in_atomic() handling in do_secure_storage_access() Kernel user spaces accesses to not     exported pages in atomic context incorrectly try to resolve the page fault. With debug options enabled     call traces like this can be seen: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at     kernel/locking/rwsem.c:1523 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 419074, name: qemu-     system-s39 preempt_count: 1, expected: 0 RCU nest depth: 0, expected: 0 INFO: lockdep is turned off.

It is not allowed to take the mmap_lock while in atomic     context. Therefore handle such a secure storage access fault as if the accessed page is not mapped: the     uaccess function will return -EFAULT, and the caller has to deal with this. Usually this means that the     access is retried in process context, which allows to resolve the page fault (or in this case export the     page). (CVE-2025-38359)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
