In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/vt-d: Tear down scalable-mode context on probe failure
intel_pasid_setup_sm_context() walks a PCI device’s DMA aliases via
pci_for_each_dma_alias() and programs a scalable-mode context entry for
each RID. For a device with a dma_alias_mask, the callback is invoked
once for the device’s own RID and once for each alias bit, all with the
same pci_dev, so device_pasid_table_setup() runs for multiple RIDs.
pci_for_each_dma_alias() stops at the first callback error. Therefore, a
failure partway through the walk can leave context entries for already
processed RIDs present and still pointing to the device’s PASID table.
On this error path, intel_iommu_probe_device() currently jumps directly
to intel_pasid_free_table(), which frees the PASID table without
first tearing down those context entries. The IOMMU may then walk a
present context entry whose PASID table pointer references freed
memory.
intel_iommu_release_device() already performs teardown before freeing the
table. Apply the same ordering on the probe failure path.
device_pasid_table_teardown() safely handles RIDs that were never
programmed: iommu_context_addr() returns NULL when no context table has
been allocated, and clearing the Present bit of an already non-present
entry is a no-op.
So unwind is safe for both the alias that failed and any aliases not yet reached.
