DescriptionCVE.org

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

iommufd: Fix wrong hwpt passed to iommufd_auto_response_faults on replace

iommufd_hwpt_replace_device() calls:

iommufd_auto_response_faults(hwpt, old_handle);

passing the *new* hwpt together with the handle of the device's *old* domain. This should be a parameter mismatch:

  1. Semantically, iommufd_auto_response_faults(x, handle) scans

x->fault's deliver list and response xarray for groups matching "handle". A group is queued under the hwpt that was attached at fault-delivery time. old_handle is fetched *before* the domain switch, so its group lives on old->fault, not on the new hwpt->fault.

  1. Historically, the first argument was "old". The routine was

introduced by commit b7d8833677ba ("iommufd: Fault-capable hwpt attach/detach/replace") as __fault_domain_replace_dev() in fault.c, correctly calling iommufd_auto_response_faults(old, curr). Commit fb21b1568ada ("iommufd: Make attach_handle generic than fault specific") moved this into iommufd_hwpt_replace_device() in device.c and swapped it to "hwpt". This should be a refactor regression, not an intentional change.

Fix this by passing "old" instead.
