Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-15 15:30 – Updated: 2026-08-17 06:33

Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iommu/arm-smmu-v3-iommufd: Require exactly one Stream ID for a vDEVICE

arm_vsmmu_vsid_to_sid() maps a guest's vSID to a single physical Stream ID taken from master->streams[0], assuming a device has exactly one stream. A device with several streams gets only its first one mapped, so a guest vSID invalidation cannot reach the others' ATC and IOTLB entries; a device with none makes master->streams a ZERO_SIZE_PTR, read out of bounds.

Add an arm_vsmmu_vdevice_init() op to reject the vDEVICE with -EOPNOTSUPP when master->num_streams is not one, rather than mapping it silently.

Severity

9.3 (Critical)
