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

iommu/amd: Clear DMA ops when switching domain

Since commit 08a27c1c3ecf ("iommu: Add support to change default domain
of an iommu group") a user can switch a device between IOMMU and direct
DMA through sysfs. This doesn't work for AMD IOMMU at the moment because
dev->dma_ops is not cleared when switching from a DMA to an identity
IOMMU domain. The DMA layer thus attempts to use the dma-iommu ops on an
identity domain, causing an oops:

# echo 0000:00:05.0 > /sys/sys/bus/pci/drivers/e1000e/unbind
# echo identity > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:05.0/iommu_group/type
# echo 0000:00:05.0 > /sys/sys/bus/pci/drivers/e1000e/bind
...
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000028
...
Call Trace:
iommu_dma_alloc
e1000e_setup_tx_resources
e1000e_open

Since iommu_change_dev_def_domain() calls probe_finalize() again, clear
the dma_ops there like Vt-d does.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: iommu/amd: borra las operaciones de DMA al cambiar de dominio. Desde el commit 08a27c1c3ecf ("iommu: agrega soporte para cambiar el dominio predeterminado de un grupo iommu"), un usuario puede cambiar un dispositivo entre IOMMU y DMA directo a través de sysfs. Esto no funciona para AMD IOMMU en este momento porque dev->dma_ops no se borra al cambiar de un DMA a un dominio IOMMU de identidad. Por lo tanto, la capa DMA intenta utilizar las operaciones dma-iommu en un dominio de identidad, lo que provoca un error: # echo 0000:00:05.0 > /sys/sys/bus/pci/drivers/e1000e/unbind # echo Identity > /sys/ bus/pci/devices/0000:00:05.0/iommu_group/type # echo 0000:00:05.0 > /sys/sys/bus/pci/drivers/e1000e/bind ... ERROR: desreferencia del puntero NULL del kernel, dirección: 0000000000000028 ... Seguimiento de llamadas: iommu_dma_alloc e1000e_setup_tx_resources e1000e_open Dado que iommu_change_dev_def_domain() llama a probe_finalize() nuevamente, borre dma_ops allí como lo hace Vt-d.
