Title
iommupt: Check for missing PAGE_SIZE in the pgsize_bitmap
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommupt: Check for missing PAGE_SIZE in the pgsize_bitmap Sashiko pointed out that the driver could drop PAGE_SIZE from the pgsize_bitmap. That is technically allowed but nothing does it, and such an iommu_domain would not be used with the DMA API today. Still, it is against the design and it is trivial to fix up. Lift the PT_WARN_ON to the if branch and just skip the fast path.

There is no network-facing entry point.\nAC:L - Once an IOMMU paging domain exists with `PAGE_SIZE` cleared from `pgsize_bitmap`, any `iommu_map()`/`IOMMU_IOAS_MAP` call mapping a single page reliably takes the buggy fast path; the attacker controls mapping requests and needs no races or special memory layout.\nPR:L - Exploitation requires local ability to create IOMMU mappings for a passthrough device (IOMMUFD/VFIO ioctl access and device group permissions), which is available to unprivileged tenants on cloud GPU/NIC passthrough hosts without host root, even though opening `/dev/iommufd` alone is insufficient.\nUI:N - Triggering the flaw is entirely programmatic through IOMMU mapping ioctls; no victim interaction such as mounting a filesystem or opening a file is required.\nS:C - Incorrect leaf PTE installation on an IOMMU domain can break DMA isolation, allowing a device to read/write host physical memory outside its authorized mappings\u2014an IOMMU/DMA security-boundary bypass per kernel CVSS guidance.\nC:H - Malformed or policy-violating IOMMU page-table entries can cause a DMA-capable device to read arbitrary host physical memory beyond the intended IOVA window, constituting arbitrary memory disclosure through the IOMMU bypass primitive.\nI:H - The fast path installs `PAGE_SHIFT` leaf entries even when `PAGE_SIZE` is excluded from `pgsize_bitmap`, corrupting IOMMU translation state and enabling a DMA device to write to unauthorized host physical pages.\nA:N - The flaw corrupts IOMMU translation entries rather than causing a kernel oops, panic, or hang; availability impact is not a primary or reliable outcome of triggering this bug."

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.

Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

Nomenclature

  • Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
  • Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
  • Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
  • Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
  • Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.

    Vulnerabilities whose description is nearest to this one in the vector space of the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-biencoder model. This is a similarity search over the bi-encoder space (plain cosine), not a classification, and it has no measured accuracy.
