FKIE_CVE-2026-98002

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-09-25 11:17 - Updated: 2026-09-25 15:18
Severity
7.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommu/amd: Fix ineffective error check in nested domain allocation amd_iommu_pdom_id_alloc() returns an int: a domain ID on success, or the negative errno from ida_alloc_range() when the ID space is exhausted or memory is short. amd_iommu_alloc_domain_nested() stores that return value in gdom_info->hdom_id, which is a u32, and only then tests it: gdom_info->hdom_id = amd_iommu_pdom_id_alloc(); if (gdom_info->hdom_id <= 0) { The assignment discards the sign, so -ENOSPC becomes 0xffffffe4 and the test never fires. The nested domain is then set up with a host domain ID that was never allocated, instead of the allocation failing with -ENOSPC. Keep the value in an int, test it there, and store it only once it is known to be valid, which is what the other amd_iommu_pdom_id_alloc() callers already do.
