No network or packet-receive path exists.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race by issuing concurrent IOMMU_TEST_OP_TRIGGER_IOPF and PASID_DETACH/REPLACE or mock-domain destroy on the same fd; iommu_attach_handle_get() does not keep the handle alive after lookup, so no victim timing or uncontrollable layout is required.\nPR:L - iommufd_fops_open() and IOMMU_TEST_CMD perform no capability checks; /dev/iommu is 0660 and MOCK_DOMAIN creates an IOPF-capable mock device without physical assignment, so an unprivileged local user with iommufd access (selftest/syzkaller kernels or VFIO/iommufd group membership) can trigger it without init-namespace root.\nUI:N - Exploitation requires no victim action; the attacker programmatically opens iommufd, creates a mock domain, attaches a PASID, and races TRIGGER_IOPF against detach through their own file descriptors and ioctls.\nS:C - The freed object is struct iommufd_attach_handle used by iommu_report_device_fault() to dispatch domain->iopf_handler and complete IOMMU page faults; pre-fix TRIGGER_IOPF also accepted any bound idev, so corrupting those handles can hijack IOMMU fault/DMA isolation across the device-assignment boundary.\nC:H - Use-after-free of iommufd_attach_handle lets an attacker reclaim the slab and control the domain pointer later read as attach_handle->domain->iopf_handler, enabling arbitrary kernel reads through the IOPF handler and fault-queue path.\nI:H - The UAF is a function-pointer dereference of domain->iopf_handler plus later handle use in iommufd_fault_iopf_handler; heap spraying yields an arbitrary write and control-flow hijack in the IOMMU fault-completion path.\nA:H - Dereferencing the freed attach handle in find_fault_handler()/iommu_report_device_fault() causes a kernel oops or panic; the UAF is reliably crashable even when not fully exploited for code execution."}]}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/iommu/iommufd/selftest.c"],"versions":[{"version":"ddee19971081b42615d62f4fdada21274708ed4d","lessThan":"fd2e7ac94d6d813548b021473c3dddc30c8c07d1","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"ddee19971081b42615d62f4fdada21274708ed4d","lessThan":"cab2895729516799384d48560e6fca105fb3f927","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"ddee19971081b42615d62f4fdada21274708ed4d","lessThan":"e27e90bde68b2ab92e63ed19caad1ef57188bea0","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"ddee19971081b42615d62f4fdada21274708ed4d","lessThan":"8c07df7cdfcf52f1ff276c588612aabc6c6b8399","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/iommufd/selftest.c"],"versions":[{"version":"6.11","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"6.11","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.112","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.50","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2.4","lessThanOrEqual":"7.2.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.3-rc1","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":"6.11","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.112"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.11","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.50"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.11","versionEndExcluding":"7.2.4"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.11","versionEndExcluding":"7.3-rc1"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fd2e7ac94d6d813548b021473c3dddc30c8c07d1"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cab2895729516799384d48560e6fca105fb3f927"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e27e90bde68b2ab92e63ed19caad1ef57188bea0"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8c07df7cdfcf52f1ff276c588612aabc6c6b8399"}],"title":"iommufd: Fix UAF in selftest IOPF reporting","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
