Out-of-Bounds Read in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-52953)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-52953). Data can be tampered with by attackers.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/vt-d: Fix oops due to out of scope access
Below oops triggers when kill QEMU process:

The global static blocked domain is a dummy domain without corresponding
dmar_domain structure, accessing beyond iommu_domain structure triggers
oops easily. Fix it by return early in domain_remove_dev_pasid() like
identity domain.
