Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
iommu/s390: Implement blocking domain<br />
<br />
This fixes a crash when surprise hot-unplugging a PCI device. This crash<br />
happens because during hot-unplug __iommu_group_set_domain_nofail()<br />
attaching the default domain fails when the platform no longer<br />
recognizes the device as it has already been removed and we end up with<br />
a NULL domain pointer and UAF. This is exactly the case referred to in<br />
the second comment in __iommu_device_set_domain() and just as stated<br />
there if we can instead attach the blocking domain the UAF is prevented<br />
as this can handle the already removed device. Implement the blocking<br />
domain to use this handling. With this change, the crash is fixed but<br />
we still hit a warning attempting to change DMA ownership on a blocked<br />
device.
