Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-07-25 10:07:43 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iommufd: Set veventq_depth upper bound

iommufd_veventq_alloc() accepts any !0 veventq_depth from userspace, with
an upper bound at U32_MAX.

This leaves a vulnerability where userspace can allocate excessively large
queues to exhaust kernel memory reserves.

Cap the veventq_depth (maximum number of entries) to 1 << 19, matching the
maximum number of entries in the SMMUv3 EVTQ (the largest use case today).
