Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's input/output memory management unit (IOMMU) virtualized directed I/O (VT-d) subsystem. This vulnerability occurs due to an out-of-scope memory access when a QEMU process is terminated. An attacker could potentially trigger a general protection fault, leading to a kernel oops and causing a denial of service (DoS) on the affected system.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-06-24 18:05:31 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iommu/vt-d: Fix oops due to out of scope access

Below oops triggers when kill QEMU process:

  Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0x7fffffff844eaaa7: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI

The global static blocked domain is a dummy domain without corresponding
dmar_domain structure, accessing beyond iommu_domain structure triggers
oops easily. Fix it by return early in domain_remove_dev_pasid() like
identity domain.
