Description

A flaw was found in the iommufd subsystem of the Linux kernel. When setting up a mapping with a user virtual address that wraps past zero or otherwise triggers a pointer/size overflow, the kernel may fail to properly validate and constrain the user-provided values. This can result in a buffer overflow or memory corruption in the iopt_alloc_pages() and related routines when handling the user mapping.
