CVE-2023-54095CVE-2023-54095
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/iommu: Fix notifiers being shared by PCI and VIO buses
fail_iommu_setup() registers the fail_iommu_bus_notifier struct to both
PCI and VIO buses. struct notifier_block is a linked list node, so this
causes any notifiers later registered to either bus type to also be
registered to the other since they share the same node.
This causes issues in (at least) the vgaarb code, which registers a
notifier for PCI buses. pci_notify() ends up being called on a vio
device, converted with to_pci_dev() even though it's not a PCI device,
and finally makes a bad access in vga_arbiter_add_pci_device() as
discovered with KASAN:
