Technical description

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

iommufd: Protect against overflow of ALIGN() during iova allocation

Userspace can supply an iova and uptr such that the target iova alignment

becomes really big and ALIGN() overflows which corrupts the selected area

range during allocation. CONFIG_IOMMUFD_TEST can detect this:
