Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iommu: Restore lost return in iommu_report_device_fault()

When iommu_report_device_fault gets called with a partial fault it is

supposed to collect the fault into the group and then return.

Instead the return was accidently deleted which results in trying to

process the fault and an eventual crash.

Deleting the return was a typo, put it back.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
