Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-09-11 20:19 - Updated: 2026-09-13 07:17

Severity

8.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommu/tegra241-cmdqv: Reject a vSID wider than the SID_MATCH field tegra241_vintf_init_vsid() programs the guest-provided vSID into SID_MATCH, whose VIRT_SID field spans bits [20:1] with bit 0 as the match-enable flag. The HW therefore matches only a 20-bit Stream ID. The bound check rejects only virt_sid > UINT_MAX, which admits a value far wider than the field. The write "virt_sid << 1 | 0x1" then drops every bit above 20: a virt_sid of 0x80000000 lands as SID_MATCH = 0x1, a valid match on vSID 0, so the entry aliases the wrong Stream ID. Because vdev->virt_id is guest-controlled, a VMM can trigger it. Validate virt_sid against the field width with FIELD_MAX(), and program the register with FIELD_PREP() so the value and the field stay consistent.

There is no network or packet path into CMDQV SID programming.\nAC:L - The attacker fully chooses cmd-\u003evirt_id; the old UINT_MAX check accepts values such as 0x80000000, and writel(virt_sid\u003c\u003c1|0x1) deterministically truncates them onto a 20-bit SID_MATCH (aliasing vSID 0). No race or uninfluenced memory layout is required on NVIDIA Grace/CMDQV.\nPR:L - iommufd_fops_open() and the ioctl table have no capable() gate (/dev/iommu 0660, /dev/vfio/vfio 0666). A tenant or unprivileged QEMU user granted VFIO/iommufd access on Grace can bind a CMDQV-backed device, alloc a TEGRA241_CMDQV vIOMMU, and issue VDEVICE_ALLOC without init-namespace root.\nUI:N - The attacker performs the full sequence themselves (open iommufd, bind the assigned device, alloc vIOMMU/vDEVICE with a truncated virt_id, then guest ATC_INV via VCMDQ). No separate victim action such as mounting a filesystem is required.\nS:C - Truncating a guest-controlled vSID into SID_MATCH aliases it onto another Stream ID so CMDQV rewrites ATC_INV/CFGI to the wrong pSID. That is an IOMMU/DMA boundary bypass: missed invalidations leave stale ATS/IOTLB entries and let device DMA reach host memory outside the guest domain.\nC:H - Wrong SID_MATCH/SID_REPLACE pairing leaves stale ATS translations after IOVA unmap, so a guest-controlled passthrough device can DMA-read host pages recycled by the allocator, yielding an arbitrary host-memory disclosure primitive through the IOMMU.\nI:H - The same stale or retargeted translations allow DMA writes into unmapped host pages, and aliased CFGI/ATC_INV operate on the wrong physical Stream ID, corrupting IOMMU translation state and providing an arbitrary write suitable for control-flow hijack.\nA:H - Misdirected invalidation and CFGI cause SMMU translation faults, DMA into recycled kernel pages, and CMDQV GERROR/ISR failures that oops or panic the host; the truncated vSID can be programmed repeatedly on every VDEVICE_ALLOC."

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
