Summary

In the Linux kernel, a vulnerability in the iommu/vt-d driver causes loss of dirty tracking when attaching PASID to a nested domain. The kernel lacks dirty tracking support for such configurations, potentially losing information about modified memory pages.

Risk Assessment

The organization may lose the ability to monitor virtual memory changes, which in virtualized or caching environments can lead to data inconsistency or system integrity violations.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that blocks PASID attachment to nested domains with dirty tracking enabled.
