CVE-2024-26785

CVSS v3.1

5.5

Medium

VectorAV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description: The issue is related to the iommufd access change ioas() function in the Linux kernel, which sets access->ioas to NULL during its process, potentially causing a lock to be gone in a concurrent racing context. This can lead to a general protection fault, probably for a non-canonical address. The problem is fixed by doing the same access->ioas sanity check as the iommufd access rw() and iommufd access pin pages() functions.
Recommendations: At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
