Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-09-17 17:17 - Updated: 2026-09-18 18:17

Severity

7.4 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommu/tegra241-cmdqv: Don't fall back to a freed smmu after devm_krealloc() __tegra241_cmdqv_probe() uses devm_krealloc() to grow @smmu into the larger tegra241_cmdqv, which frees the original @smmu once it relocates. A failure after that returned NULL, and the caller then dereferenced the freed @smmu on its fallback path. Return an int and take @smmu by reference instead, then update *smmu to the reallocated pointer after devm_krealloc() succeeds, so the caller and its fallback path both use the live @smmu rather than the freed original.

No protocol message supplies the stale pointer; it is a local devm_krealloc() lifetime bug.\nAC:H - out_fallback uses the freed @smmu only if a relocating devm_krealloc() is followed by kzalloc_objs(cmdqv-\u003evintfs) or request_threaded_irq() failing. arm_smmu_driver sets suppress_bind_attrs, CONFIG_ARM_SMMU_V3=y, and this probe never returns -EPROBE_DEFER, so a local attacker cannot re-enter it or reliably force those GFP_KERNEL/IRQ failures.\nPR:N - arm_smmu_device_probe() has no capable() check; tegra241_cmdqv_probe() runs from the platform .probe in kernel_init once IORT creates the arm-smmu-v3 device or DT matches nvidia,tegra264-smmu. No OS account or user-namespace capability is required to be on that path.\nUI:N - tegra241_cmdqv_probe()\u2019s out_fallback dereference of the freed @smmu runs inside arm_smmu_device_probe() during automatic platform bind; no victim must mount a filesystem, open a device node, or load a module by hand.\nS:U - The use-after-free is of the host kernel arm_smmu_device that devm_krealloc() freed in __tegra241_cmdqv_probe(); out_fallback\u2019s smmu-\u003eoptions write and the rest of arm_smmu_device_probe() stay in that kernel. This is not leftover SMMU translation tables or a guest/DMA walk of attacker-controlled IOMMU page tables.\nC:H - After a relocating devm_krealloc(), tegra241_cmdqv_probe() returns ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) and arm_smmu_impl_probe() hands the freed @smmu back to arm_smmu_device_probe(). That use-after-free of the SMMU object can be reclaimed and, per kernel UAF guidance, enables arbitrary kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - out_fallback writes smmu-\u003eoptions through the freed pointer, then arm_smmu_device_probe() continues with arm_smmu_device_hw_probe(), arm_smmu_init_structures(), and iommu_device_register() on the same dangling arm_smmu_device, a write-after-free that yields heap-spray write and control-flow hijack primitives.\nA:H - out_fallback dereferences smmu-\u003eimpl_dev and later SMMU probe/runtime uses the freed arm_smmu_device; that use-after-free oopses or panics the kernel even when not turned into a full exploit."
