Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-15 06:32 – Updated: 2026-08-17 06:33

Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iommu/dma-iommu: Fix wrong scatterlist length assignment in P2PDMA path

In iommu_dma_map_sg(), when handling PCI P2PDMA cases, the DMA length of the current scatterlist segment s is incorrectly assigned from the head entry sg->length instead of the current entry s->length.

This typo causes all P2PDMA segments in the scatterlist to inherit the length of the first segment, leading to corrupted DMA lengths for multi- segment scatterlists.

Fix this by using s->length instead of sg->length.

Severity

8.8 (High)

Title

iommu/dma-iommu: Fix wrong scatterlist length assignment in P2PDMA path

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommu/dma-iommu: Fix wrong scatterlist length assignment in P2PDMA path In iommu_dma_map_sg(), when handling PCI P2PDMA cases, the DMA length of the current scatterlist segment `s` is incorrectly assigned from the head entry `sg->length` instead of the current entry `s->length`. This typo causes all P2PDMA segments in the scatterlist to inherit the length of the first segment, leading to corrupted DMA lengths for multi- segment scatterlists. Fix this by using `s->length` instead of `sg->length`.

Severity
