Doc Text:	A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's iommu/tegra241-cmdqv driver. This vulnerability occurs because the error interrupt is requested before a critical array is properly set up. If a Command Queue Virtualization (CMDQV) device has a pending error during a kernel restart (kexec), the interrupt handler may attempt to access uninitialized memory. This could lead to system instability or a denial of service.	Story Points:	---

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-17 19:31:58 UTC

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

iommu/tegra241-cmdqv: Don't run the error ISR before probe sets up vintfs

__tegra241_cmdqv_probe() requests the error IRQ before it has allocated the
cmdqv->vintfs array and set cmdqv->num_vintfs. A CMDQV left enabled with a
latched error across a kexec fires the IRQ as soon as it is requested, and
tegra241_cmdqv_isr() then walks the uninitialized cmdqv->vintfs array.

Request the IRQ only after cmdqv->vintfs is allocated and zeroed, so that
a latched interrupt firing early runs the ISR against a valid array of NULL
slots that it safely skips.
