Description

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

iommu: Fix WARN_ON in __iommu_group_set_domain_nofail() due to reset

In __iommu_group_set_domain_internal(), concurrent domain attachments are
rejected when any device in the group is recovering. This is necessary to
fence concurrent attachments to a multi-device group where devices might
share the same RID due to PCI DMA alias quirks, but triggers the WARN_ON in
__iommu_group_set_domain_nofail().

Other IOMMU_SET_DOMAIN_MUST_SUCCEED callers in detach/teardown paths, such
as __iommu_group_set_core_domain and __iommu_release_dma_ownership, should
not be rejected, as the domain would be freed anyway in these nofail paths
while group->domain is still pointing to it. So pci_dev_reset_iommu_done()
could trigger a UAF when re-attaching group->domain.

Honor the IOMMU_SET_DOMAIN_MUST_SUCCEED flag, allowing the callers through
the group->recovery_cnt fence, so as to update the group->domain pointer.
Instead add a gdev->blocked check in the device iteration loop, to prevent
any concurrent per-device detachment.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.

Weaknesses

Reachable Assertion

The product contains an assert() or similar statement that can be triggered by an attacker, which leads to an application exit or other behavior that is more severe than necessary. Learn more on MITRE.

Expired Pointer Dereference

The product dereferences a pointer that contains a location for memory that was previously valid, but is no longer valid. Learn more on MITRE.
