Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2024-26786)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2024-26786). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommufd: Fix iopt_access_list_id overwrite bug
Syzkaller reported the following WARN_ON:
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 4738 at drivers/iommu/iommufd/io_pagetable.c:1360

The mismatch between the access pointer in the list and the passed-in
pointer is resulting from an overwrite of access->iopt_access_list_id, in
iopt_add_access(). Called from iommufd_access_change_ioas() when
xa_alloc() succeeds but iopt_calculate_iova_alignment() fails.
Add a new_id in iopt_add_access() and only update iopt_access_list_id when
returning successfully.
