When replacing\nan active PASID entry (e.g., during domain replacement), the current\nimplementation calculates a new entry on the stack and copies it to the\ntable using a single structure assignment.\n\n        struct pasid_entry *pte, new_pte;\n\n        pte = intel_pasid_get_entry(dev, pasid);\n        pasid_pte_config_first_level(iommu, &new_pte, ...);\n        *pte = new_pte;\n\nBecause the hardware may fetch the 512-bit PASID entry in multiple\n128-bit chunks, updating the entire entry while it is active (Present\nbit set) risks a \"torn\" read. In this scenario, the IOMMU hardware\ncould observe an inconsistent state — partially new data and partially\nold data — leading to unpredictable behavior or spurious faults.\n\nFix this by removing the unsafe \"replace\" helpers and following the\n\"clear-then-update\" flow, which ensures the Present bit is cleared and\nthe required invalidation handshake is completed before the new\nconfiguration is applied."}],"metrics":[{"cvssV3_1":{"version":"3.1","vectorString":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","baseScore":8.8,"baseSeverity":"HIGH"}}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/iommu/intel/iommu.c","drivers/iommu/intel/nested.c","drivers/iommu/intel/pasid.c","drivers/iommu/intel/pasid.h"],"versions":[{"version":"7543ee63e8113aa34b07df3b16b3b9d2c5f73939","lessThan":"66a7aff480a82b8642b3991fed5fdc9780022157","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"7543ee63e8113aa34b07df3b16b3b9d2c5f73939","lessThan":"c3b1edea3791fa91ab7032faa90355913ad9451b","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/iommu/intel/iommu.c","drivers/iommu/intel/nested.c","drivers/iommu/intel/pasid.c","drivers/iommu/intel/pasid.h"],"versions":[{"version":"6.13","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"6.13","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.19.4","lessThanOrEqual":"6.19.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.0","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.13","versionEndExcluding":"6.19.4"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.13","versionEndExcluding":"7.0"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/66a7aff480a82b8642b3991fed5fdc9780022157"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c3b1edea3791fa91ab7032faa90355913ad9451b"}],"title":"iommu/vt-d: Fix race condition during PASID entry replacement","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
