CVE-2023-54060: kernel: iommufd: Set end correctly when doing batch carry
Component: kernel
Severity: Moderate
CWE: CWE-476 (NULL Pointer Dereference)
CVSS v3: 5.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H)
Public date: 2025-12-24T00:00:00+00:00

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

iommufd: Set end correctly when doing batch carry

Even though the test suite covers this it somehow became obscured that
this wasn't working.

The test iommufd_ioas.mock_domain.access_domain_destory would blow up
rarely.

end should be set to 1 because this just pushed an item, the carry, to the
pfns list.

Sometimes the test would blow up with:
