Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-04 18:31 – Updated: 2026-09-04 18:31In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/tegra241-cmdqv: Fix CMD_SYNC use-after-free on teardown
arm_smmu_impl_remove() is registered as a devres action in arm_smmu_impl_probe(), before arm_smmu_init_queues() allocates smmu->cmdq.q.base. On a devres unwind, whether a failed probe or an unbind, the queue is freed first and arm_smmu_impl_remove() then runs tegra241_cmdqv_remove_vintf(), whose VINTF deinit issues a CMD_SYNC on the freed memory.
Observed during testing with a QEMU hack that makes the VCMDQ fail to enable, so the impl reset fails and probe aborts into the devres unwind:

Drop the VINTF deinit from tegra241_cmdqv_remove_vintf() so the unwind no longer touches the freed queue. Quiesce the VINTFs earlier instead. Add a device_disable() impl op and run it from arm_smmu_disable_action() while the CMDQ is still up. That handles a live unbind. A failed reset is already handled because tegra241_vintf_hw_init() deinits the VINTF on its own error path. tegra241_cmdqv_remove_vintf() is also used by the iommufd viommu destroy path, so quiesce there too.
