Summary

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel related to the PASID table has been resolved, which could be used incorrectly by IOMMU hardware. The issue was due to the improper order of flushing the cache before writing the address of a newly allocated PASID table.

Risk Assessment

Organizations may be exposed to exploitation of this vulnerability by attackers who could access incorrect data in the PASID table, potentially leading to unauthorized access to system resources.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to the latest version where this vulnerability has been fixed to minimize the risk of unauthorized access.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommu/vt-d: Flush cache for PASID table before using it When writing the address of a freshly allocated zero-initialized PASID table to a PASID directory entry, do that after the CPU cache flush for this PASID table, not before it, to avoid the time window when this PASID table may be already used by non-coherent IOMMU hardware while its contents in RAM is still some random old data, not zero-initialized.
