Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

KVM: s390: pci: fix GAIT table indexing due to double-scaling pointer arithmetic

kvm_s390_pci_aif_enable(), kvm_s390_pci_aif_disable(), and
aen_host_forward() index the GAIT by manually multiplying the index
with sizeof(struct zpci_gaite).

Since aift->gait is already a struct zpci_gaite pointer, this
double-scales the offset, accessing element aisb*16 instead of aisb.

This causes out-of-bounds accesses when aisb >= 32 (with
ZPCI_NR_DEVICES=512)

Fix by removing the erroneous sizeof multiplication.
