Doc Text:	A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's IOMMU (Input/Output Memory Management Unit) AMD driver. The `clone_alias()` function incorrectly uses the device ID (devid) when handling alias devices. This can lead to the propagation of wrong or stale Device Table Entry (DTE) entries to alias devices, potentially impacting system stability or data integrity.	Story Points:	---

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-06-24 18:04:56 UTC

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

iommu/amd: Fix clone_alias() to use the original device's devid

Currently clone_alias() assumes first argument (pdev) is always the
original device pointer. This function is called by
pci_for_each_dma_alias() which based on topology decides to send
original or alias device details in first argument.

This meant that the source devid used to look up and copy the DTE
may be incorrect, leading to wrong or stale DTE entries being
propagated to alias device.

Fix this by passing the original pdev as the opaque data argument to
both the direct clone_alias() call and pci_for_each_dma_alias(). Inside
clone_alias(), retrieve the original device from data and compute devid
from it.
