Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-11 20:44:46 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iommufd: Fix UAF in selftest IOPF reporting

IOMMUFD selftest TRIGGER_IOPF borrows an attach handle from
group->pasid_array without synchronizing against PASID detach,
then a concurrent iommu_report_device_fault() can dereference
that borrowed handle's domain pointer after the detach erases
the handle and frees the backing struct iommufd_attach_handle.
TRIGGER_IOPF then dereferences the freed handle, causing a UAF.

Fix by adding a iopf_rwsem in mock_dev to follow the expected design
of a real driver. Hold its read side across the whole
iommu_report_device_fault() call, and its write side around every
path that attaches, detaches, or replaces a device domain.
This can block new reports and drains in-flight reports before an old
attach handle or the IOPF fault parameter can be removed.
Also take the write side while registering a mock device, since
it can invoke the mock driver's default-domain attach callback.
