Description OSIDB Bzimport 2024-09-27 13:21:40 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iommufd: Require drivers to supply the cache_invalidate_user ops

If drivers don't do this then iommufd will oops invalidation ioctls with
something like:

  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000
