CVE-2025-39961

*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> iommu/amd/pgtbl: Fix possible race while increase page table level<br /> <br /> The AMD IOMMU host page table implementation supports dynamic page table levels<br /> (up to 6 levels), starting with a 3-level configuration that expands based on<br /> IOVA address. The kernel maintains a root pointer and current page table level<br /> to enable proper page table walks in alloc_pte()/fetch_pte() operations.<br /> <br /> The IOMMU IOVA allocator initially starts with 32-bit address and onces its<br /> exhuasted it switches to 64-bit address (max address is determined based<br /> on IOMMU and device DMA capability). To support larger IOVA, AMD IOMMU<br /> driver increases page table level.<br /> <br /> But in unmap path (iommu_v1_unmap_pages()), fetch_pte() reads<br /> pgtable-&gt;[root/mode] without lock. So its possible that in exteme corner case,<br /> when increase_address_space() is updating pgtable-&gt;[root/mode], fetch_pte()<br /> reads wrong page table level (pgtable-&gt;mode). It does compare the value with<br /> level encoded in page table and returns NULL. This will result is<br /> iommu_unmap ops to fail and upper layer may retry/log WARN_ON.<br /> <br /> CPU 0 CPU 1<br /> ------ ------<br /> map pages unmap pages<br /> alloc_pte() -&gt; increase_address_space() iommu_v1_unmap_pages() -&gt; fetch_pte()<br /> pgtable-&gt;root = pte (new root value)<br /> READ pgtable-&gt;[mode/root]<br /> Reads new root, old mode<br /> Updates mode (pgtable-&gt;mode += 1)<br /> <br /> Since Page table level updates are infrequent and already synchronized with a<br /> spinlock, implement seqcount to enable lock-free read operations on the read path.
