Doc Text:	A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Input-Output Memory Management Unit (IOMMU) component. This vulnerability occurs when a default IOMMU domain fails to allocate during the initial probe, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. This can cause a system crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).	Story Points:	---

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-06-26 21:07:02 UTC

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

iommu: Fix NULL group->domain dereference in pci_dev_reset_iommu_done()

Local sashiko review pointed it out that group->domain could be NULL when
a default domain fails to allocate during the first probe, which can crash
at domain->ops->attach_dev dereference in __iommu_attach_device() invoked
by pci_dev_reset_iommu_done().

pci_dev_reset_iommu_prepare() is fine as an old_domain pointer can be NULL.

Skip the re-attach in pci_dev_reset_iommu_done() to fix the bug.
