Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommufd: Protect against overflow of ALIGN() during iova allocation Userspace can supply an iova and uptr such that the target iova alignment becomes really big and ALIGN() overflows which corrupts the selected area range during allocation.
