Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-07-25 10:14:36 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iommufd: Break the loop on failure in iommufd_fault_fops_read()

On a copy_to_user() failure inside the inner list_for_each_entry, only the
inner loop breaks; the outer while re-fetches the just-restored fault group
and retries the failing copy_to_user() forever, spinning the reader at 100%
CPU with fault->mutex held.

Check rc after the inner loop and break the outer while as well.
