Description
A flaw was found in the Intel IOMMU (Input/Output Memory Management Unit) driver within the Linux kernel. The dmar_latency_disable() function incorrectly calculates the size for a memory clear operation, leading to an out-of-bounds write. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to corrupt adjacent memory, potentially leading to system instability or a denial of service.
Statement
This issue affects Intel IOMMU latency statistics. dmar_latency_disable() memset size clears beyond the target entry, writing adjacent array elements. Systems without Intel VT-d DMAR latency support are not affected.
