7.8 HIGH — CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: swiotlb: Preserve allocation virtual address for dynamic pools swiotlb_alloc_tlb() can allocate from the DMA atomic pool when a decrypted pool is needed from atomic context. With CONFIG_DMA_DIRECT_REMAP, the atomic pool is backed by remapped virtual addresses, which are not the same as the direct-map addresses returned by phys_to_virt(). swiotlb_init_io_tlb_pool() currently reconstructs the pool virtual address from the physical start address. For atomic-pool backed allocations this stores the wrong address in pool->vaddr. Later, swiotlb_free_tlb() passes that address to dma_free_from_pool(), which will fail to recognize the chunk Pass the virtual address returned by the allocation path into swiotlb_init_io_tlb_pool(), and store that address in pool->vaddr. This keeps the pool free path using the same virtual address as the allocator.
