Summary

In the Linux kernel, the iommu/dma non-blocking, non-coherent allocation path uses dma_alloc_from_pool(), which returns the allocated page and fills cpu_addr only on success. The code relies on cpu_addr to detect allocation failure, which is incorrect. The fix checks the returned page directly before using it for IOMMU mapping.

Risk Assessment

An invalid pointer may be used for IOMMU mapping, leading to memory corruption or kernel crashes. Systems using IOMMU and atomic allocations are affected.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version with the fix that checks the dma_alloc_from_pool() result directly. Monitor kernel logs for IOMMU errors.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommu/dma: Check atomic pool allocation result directly The non-blocking, non-coherent allocation path uses dma_alloc_from_pool(), which returns the allocated page and fills cpu_addr only on success. Do not rely on cpu_addr to detect allocation failure in this path. Check the returned page directly before using it for the IOMMU mapping.
