Summary

In the Linux kernel, detect_intel_iommu() did not include tboot in the conditions for requesting ACS, potentially causing a misconfiguration with ACS disabled while IOMMU is later forced on by tboot_force_iommu(). The fix adds a tboot check in detect_intel_iommu().

Risk Assessment

Incorrect ACS configuration with tboot enabled can weaken DMA device isolation and increase DMA-based attack risk. Affects systems using tboot with Intel VT-d.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix. On systems with tboot, verify that ACS is properly enforced.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommu/vt-d: Force requesting ACS when tboot is enabled Currently the conditions of requesting ACS in detect_intel_iommu() don't include tboot, leading to a possible misconfiguration with ACS disabled (e.g. due to user opts) while iommu is later forced on by tboot_force_iommu(). Fix it by checking tboot in detect_intel_iommu().
