DescriptionNVD

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

dmaengine: idxd: fix possible wrong descriptor completion in llist_abort_desc()

At the end of this function, d is the traversal cursor of flist, but the code completes found instead. This can lead to issues such as NULL pointer dereferences, double completion, or descriptor leaks.

Fix this by completing d instead of found in the final list_for_each_entry_safe() loop.

AnalysisAI

Use-after-free and descriptor management error in Linux kernel's Intel IDXD DMA engine driver allows NULL pointer dereferences, double completion, or descriptor leaks. The llist_abort_desc() function completes the wrong descriptor object due to a loop cursor bug introduced in commit aa8d18becc0c. …

RemediationAI

Within 24 hours: Audit systems inventory for Linux kernel versions 6.12 through 6.19, and 7.0 with Intel IDXD DMA engine enabled. Within 7 days: Apply vendor-released patches (kernel 6.12.80, 6.18.21, 6.19.11, or 7.0 or later). …
