Description

The MITRE CVE dictionary describes this issue as

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommufd: Set end correctly when doing batch carry Even though the test suite covers this it somehow became obscured that this wasn't working. The test iommufd_ioas.mock_domain.access_domain_destory would blow up rarely. end should be set to 1 because this just pushed an item, the carry, to the pfns list. Sometimes the test would blow up with: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page PGD 0 P4D 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP CPU: 5 PID: 584 Comm: iommufd Not tainted 6.5.0-rc1-dirty #1236 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS rel-1.13.0-0-gf21b5a4aeb02-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:batch_unpin+0xa2/0x100 [iommufd] Code: 17 48 81 fe ff ff 07 00 77 70 48 8b 15 b7 be 97 e2 48 85 d2 74 14 48 8b 14 fa 48 85 d2 74 0b 40 0f b6 f6 48 c1 e6 04 48 01 f2 <48> 8b 3a 48 c1 e0 06 89 ca 48 89 de 48 83 e7 f0 48 01 c7 e8 96 dc RSP: 0018:ffffc90001677a58 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: 00007f7e2646f000 RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: 0000000000000001 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 00000000fefc4c8d RDI: 0000000000fefc4c RBP: ffffc90001677a80 R08: 0000000000000048 R09: 0000000000000200 R10: 0000000000030b98 R11: ffffffff81f3bb40 R12: 0000000000000001 R13: ffff888101f75800 R14: ffffc90001677ad0 R15: 00000000000001fe FS: 00007f9323679740(0000) GS:ffff8881ba540000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000000000000 CR3: 0000000105ede003 CR4: 00000000003706a0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Call Trace: <TASK> ? show_regs+0x5c/0x70 ? __die+0x1f/0x60 ? page_fault_oops+0x15d/0x440 ? lock_release+0xbc/0x240 ? exc_page_fault+0x4a4/0x970 ? asm_exc_page_fault+0x27/0x30 ? batch_unpin+0xa2/0x100 [iommufd] ? batch_unpin+0xba/0x100 [iommufd] __iopt_area_unfill_domain+0x198/0x430 [iommufd] ? __mutex_lock+0x8c/0xb80 ? __mutex_lock+0x6aa/0xb80 ? xa_erase+0x28/0x30 ? iopt_table_remove_domain+0x162/0x320 [iommufd] ? lock_release+0xbc/0x240 iopt_area_unfill_domain+0xd/0x10 [iommufd] iopt_table_remove_domain+0x195/0x320 [iommufd] iommufd_hw_pagetable_destroy+0xb3/0x110 [iommufd] iommufd_object_destroy_user+0x8e/0xf0 [iommufd] iommufd_device_detach+0xc5/0x140 [iommufd] iommufd_selftest_destroy+0x1f/0x70 [iommufd] iommufd_object_destroy_user+0x8e/0xf0 [iommufd] iommufd_destroy+0x3a/0x50 [iommufd] iommufd_fops_ioctl+0xfb/0x170 [iommufd] __x64_sys_ioctl+0x40d/0x9a0 do_syscall_64+0x3c/0x80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0

Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details

Important note

CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authorities (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications ).

CVSS v3 Score Breakdown Red Hat NVD
CVSS v3 Base Score 5.3
Attack Vector Local
Attack Complexity High
Privileges Required Low
User Interaction None
Scope Unchanged
Confidentiality Impact None
Integrity Impact Low
Availability Impact High

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Red Hat's CVSS v3 score or Impact different from other vendors?

 For open source software shipped by multiple vendors, the CVSS base scores may vary for each vendor's version depending on the version they ship, how they ship it, the platform, and even how the software is compiled. This makes scoring of vulnerabilities difficult for third-party vulnerability databases such as NVD that only provide a single CVSS base score for each vulnerability. Red Hat scores reflect how a vulnerability affects our products specifically.

For more information, see https://access.redhat.com/solutions/762393.

My product is listed as "Under investigation" or "Affected", when will Red Hat release a fix for this vulnerability?
  • "Under investigation" doesn't necessarily mean that the product is affected by this vulnerability. It only means that our Analysis Team is still working on determining whether the product is affected and how it is affected.
  • "Affected" means that our Analysis Team has determined that this product is affected by this vulnerability and might release a fix to address this in the near future.

What can I do if my product is listed as "Will not fix"?

 A "will not fix" status means that a fix for an affected product version is not planned or not possible due to complexity, which may create additional risk.

Available options depend mostly on the Impact of the vulnerability and the current Life Cycle phase of your product. Overall, you have the following options:
  • Upgrade to a supported product version that includes a fix for this vulnerability (recommended).
  • Apply a mitigation (if one exists).
  • Open a This content is not included.support case to request a prioritization of releasing a fix for this vulnerability.

What can I do if my product is listed as "Fix deferred"?

 A deferred status means that a fix for an affected product version is not guaranteed due to higher-priority development work.

Available options depend mostly on the Impact of the vulnerability and the current Life Cycle phase of your product. Overall, you have the following options:
  • Apply a mitigation (if one exists).
  • Open a This content is not included.support case to request a prioritization of releasing a fix for this vulnerability.
  • Red Hat Engineering focuses on addressing high-priority issues based on their complexity or limited lifecycle support. Therefore, lower-priority issues will not receive immediate fixes.

What is a mitigation?

 A mitigation is an action that can be taken to reduce the impact of a security vulnerability, without deploying any fixes.

I have a Red Hat product but it is not in the above list, is it affected?

 The listed products were found to include one or more of the components that this vulnerability affects. These products underwent a thorough evaluation to determine their affectedness by this vulnerability. Note that layered products (such as container-based offerings) that consume affected components from any of the products listed in this table may be affected and are not represented.

Why is my security scanner reporting my product as vulnerable to this vulnerability even though my product version is fixed or not affected?

 In order to maintain code stability and compatibility, Red Hat usually does not rebase packages to entirely new versions. Instead, we backport fixes and new features to an older version of the package we distribute. This can result in some security scanners that only consider the package version to report the package as vulnerable. To avoid this, we suggest that you use an approved vulnerability scanner from our This content is not included.Red Hat Vulnerability Scanner Certification program.

My product is listed as "Out of Support Scope". What does this mean?

 When a product is listed as "Out of Support Scope", it means a vulnerability with the impact level assigned to this CVE is no longer covered by its current support lifecycle phase. The product has been identified to contain the impacted component, but analysis to determine whether it is affected or not by this vulnerability was not performed. The product should be assumed to be affected. Customers are advised to apply any mitigation options documented on this page, consider removing or disabling the impacted component, or upgrade to a supported version of the product that has an update available.
