No network or packet-receive path exists.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race by issuing concurrent IOMMU_TEST_OP_TRIGGER_IOPF and PASID_DETACH/REPLACE or mock-domain destroy on the same fd; iommu_attach_handle_get() does not keep the handle alive after lookup, so no victim timing or uncontrollable layout is required.\nPR:L - iommufd_fops_open() and IOMMU_TEST_CMD perform no capability checks; /dev/iommu is 0660 and MOCK_DOMAIN creates an IOPF-capable mock device without physical assignment, so an unprivileged local user with iommufd access (selftest/syzkaller kernels or VFIO/iommufd group membership) can trigger it without init-namespace root.\nUI:N - Exploitation requires no victim action; the attacker programmatically opens iommufd, creates a mock domain, attaches a PASID, and races TRIGGER_IOPF against detach through their own file descriptors and ioctls.\nS:C - The freed object is struct iommufd_attach_handle used by iommu_report_device_fault() to dispatch domain->iopf_handler and complete IOMMU page faults; pre-fix TRIGGER_IOPF also accepted any bound idev, so corrupting those handles can hijack IOMMU fault/DMA isolation across the device-assignment boundary.\nC:H - Use-after-free of iommufd_attach_handle lets an attacker reclaim the slab and control the domain pointer later read as attach_handle->domain->iopf_handler, enabling arbitrary kernel reads through the IOPF handler and fault-queue path.\nI:H - The UAF is a function-pointer dereference of domain->iopf_handler plus later handle use in iommufd_fault_iopf_handler; heap spraying yields an arbitrary write and control-flow hijack in the IOMMU fault-completion path.\nA:H - Dereferencing the freed attach handle in find_fault_handler()/iommu_report_device_fault() causes a kernel oops or panic; the UAF is reliably crashable even when not fully exploited for code execution."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/iommu/iommufd/selftest.c"], "versions": [{"version": "ddee19971081b42615d62f4fdada21274708ed4d", "lessThan": "fd2e7ac94d6d813548b021473c3dddc30c8c07d1", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "ddee19971081b42615d62f4fdada21274708ed4d", "lessThan": "cab2895729516799384d48560e6fca105fb3f927", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "ddee19971081b42615d62f4fdada21274708ed4d", "lessThan": "e27e90bde68b2ab92e63ed19caad1ef57188bea0", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "ddee19971081b42615d62f4fdada21274708ed4d", "lessThan": "8c07df7cdfcf52f1ff276c588612aabc6c6b8399", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/iommu/iommufd/selftest.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.11", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.11", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.112", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.50", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.2.4", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.3", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.11", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.112"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.11", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.50"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.11", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.4"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.11", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fd2e7ac94d6d813548b021473c3dddc30c8c07d1"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cab2895729516799384d48560e6fca105fb3f927"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e27e90bde68b2ab92e63ed19caad1ef57188bea0"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8c07df7cdfcf52f1ff276c588612aabc6c6b8399"}], "title": "iommufd: Fix UAF in selftest IOPF reporting", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
