CVE-2026-98282CVE-2026-98282
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/iommu: Fix the overflow validation in iommu_tce_check_ioba
The commit b1af23d836f8 ("KVM: PPC: iommu: Unify TCE checking") unified
IOBA parameter checking across KVM and VFIO into iommu_tce_check_ioba().
While doing so, the passed in argument npages is ignored and constant
value '1' is used leaving out a possible overflow as the callers can
legitimately be using npages > 1 for H_STUFF_TCE or H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT
cases.
Fix this by accounting for 'npages', checking for arithmetic overflow,
and verifying that the entire requested range (ioba - offset + npages)
does not exceed the table capacity 'size'.
