CVE-2025-38688CVE-2025-38688
linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommufd: Prevent ALIGN() overflow
When allocating IOVA the candidate range gets aligned to the target
alignment. If the range is close to ULONG_MAX then the ALIGN() can
wrap resulting in a corrupted iova.
Open code the ALIGN() using get_add_overflow() to prevent this.
This simplifies the checks as we don't need to check for length earlier
either.
Consolidate the two copies of this code under a single helper.
This bug would allow userspace to create a mapping that overlaps with some
other mapping or a reserved range.
