Summary

In the Linux kernel, the iaa crypto driver has a bug during hardware decompression. On a hardware analytics error, the decompress path retries through the software fallback, which writes req->dst while it is still mapped as DMA_FROM_DEVICE. With SWIOTLB active, the later dma_unmap_sg() copies the stale bounce buffer over req->dst, corrupting the result.

Risk Assessment

This can corrupt decompression output data, potentially causing application errors or inconsistency in processed data.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that unmaps the destination buffer before running the software fallback.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: iaa - unmap dst before software fallback on decompress On a hardware analytics error, decompress retries through the software fallback, which writes req->dst with the CPU while it is still mapped DMA_FROM_DEVICE. With SWIOTLB active the later dma_unmap_sg() copies the stale bounce buffer over req->dst, corrupting the result. Unmap before the fallback runs. The async path unmaps inline; the sync path signals the retry with -EAGAIN so iaa_comp_adecompress() runs the fallback after unmapping.
