CVE-2025-38688 in Linux
Resumen
por MITRE • 2025-09-04
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommufd: Prevent ALIGN() overflow
When allocating IOVA the candidate range gets aligned to the target alignment. If the range is close to ULONG_MAX then the ALIGN() can wrap resulting in a corrupted iova.
Open code the ALIGN() using get_add_overflow() to prevent this. This simplifies the checks as we don't need to check for length earlier either.
Consolidate the two copies of this code under a single helper.
This bug would allow userspace to create a mapping that overlaps with some other mapping or a reserved range.
