CVE-2024-57999CVE-2024-57999
linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/pseries/iommu: IOMMU incorrectly marks MMIO range in DDW
Power Hypervisor can possibily allocate MMIO window intersecting with
Dynamic DMA Window (DDW) range, which is over 32-bit addressing.
These MMIO pages needs to be marked as reserved so that IOMMU doesn't map
DMA buffers in this range.
The current code is not marking these pages correctly which is resulting
in LPAR to OOPS while booting. The stack is at below
