Summary

In the Linux kernel, the iommu/intel driver's dmar_latency_disable() function has a bug where it zeroes the entire latency_statistic array instead of a single entry, which for type > 0 leads to an out-of-bounds write and corruption of adjacent memory.

Risk Assessment

This could lead to kernel memory corruption, potentially causing system crashes or unpredictable behavior.

Recommendation

Apply the patch that clears only the target entry by using sizeof(*lstat) instead of sizeof(*lstat) * DMAR_LATENCY_NUM.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommu/intel: Fix out-of-bounds memset in dmar_latency_disable() dmar_latency_disable() intends to zero out only the single latency_statistic entry for the given type, but the memset size was computed as sizeof(*lstat) * DMAR_LATENCY_NUM, which clears the entire array starting from &lstat[type]. When type > 0, this writes beyond the end of the allocated array, corrupting adjacent memory. Fix by using sizeof(*lstat) to clear only the target entry.
