A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's PowerPC Input-Output Memory Management Unit (IOMMU) subsystem. The memory address validation logic fails to account for multi-page requests, leading to an arithmetic overflow and improper boundary verification. A local user or guest virtual machine can exploit this flaw by submitting crafted I/O requests that exceed allocated boundaries, potentially resulting in memory corruption or a denial of service (DoS) via a system crash.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: powerpc/iommu: Fix the overflow validation in iommu_tce_check_ioba The commit b1af23d836f8 ("KVM: PPC: iommu: Unify TCE checking") unified IOBA parameter checking across KVM and VFIO into iommu_tce_check_ioba(). While doing so, the passed in argument npages is ignored and constant value '1' is used leaving out a possible overflow as the callers can legitimately be using npages > 1 for H_STUFF_TCE or H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT cases. Fix this by accounting for 'npages', checking for arithmetic overflow, and verifying that the entire requested range (ioba - offset + npages) does not exceed the table capacity 'size'.
