Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, specifically within the `iommu/tegra241-cmdqv` driver. This vulnerability involves a resource leak during the initialization process of a component called `VINTF0`. If certain initialization steps fail, the `VINTF0` resource is not properly released, leading to its accumulation. This resource exhaustion could allow an attacker to cause a denial of service, making the system unresponsive.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-17 17:02:11 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iommu/tegra241-cmdqv: Fix VINTF0 leak on the init-failure path

tegra241_cmdqv_init_structures() allocates VINTF0 with kzalloc_obj(), inits
it, and preallocates its logical VCMDQs. Two of its error paths leak.

When tegra241_cmdqv_init_vintf() fails it returns before VINTF0 reaches the
cmdqv->vintfs[] array, so the devres unwind on probe failure cannot reach
it; free it directly there.

A later VCMDQ preallocation failure instead leaves VINTF0 published, and so
this time the unwind does reach tegra241_cmdqv_remove_vintf(), which then
frees it from vintf->hyp_own. But tegra241_vintf_hw_init() sets that flag
only afterward, from a HW read-back, so the still-uninited VINTF0 reads as
guest-owned and leaks, with mutex_destroy() and ida_destroy() run on fields
it never set up.

Decide ownership from vintf->idx instead, the index assigned when its id is
allocated: idx 0 is the kernel-owned VINTF0, while idx >= 1 marks a guest
VINTF. So the in-kernel free decision in tegra241_cmdqv_remove_vintf() and
tegra241_vintf_free_lvcmdq() now keys on idx too, and hyp_own stays a pure
HW-readback state.
