Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommufd: Set upper bounds on cache invalidation entry_num and entry_len
iommufd_hwpt_invalidate() takes a user-controlled entry_num and entry_len,
each bounded only by U32_MAX. An entry_len beyond the kernel's struct size
makes the copy helper verify the extra bytes are zero, scanning that excess
in one uninterruptible pass; a multi-gigabyte value over zeroed user memory
trips the soft-lockup watchdog.
A large entry_num is the other half, driving the backend invalidation loop
with no reschedule. The VT-d nested handler, for one, copies each entry and
flushes caches per iteration, pinning the CPU on a non-preemptible kernel.
Cap both in the ioctl. entry_len is held under PAGE_SIZE, above any request
struct, and entry_num under 1 << 19, the order of a hardware invalidation
queue and well beyond any real batch, bounding the per-call loop length.
