This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.
Technical Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/tegra241-cmdqv: Fix alignment failure at max_n_shift
When configuring a kernel with PAGE_SIZE=4KB, depending on its setting of
CONFIG_CMA_ALIGNMENT, VCMDQ_LOG2SIZE_MAX=19 could fail the alignment test
and trigger a WARN_ON:
WARNING: at drivers/iommu/arm/arm-smmu-v3/arm-smmu-v3.c:3646
Call trace:
arm_smmu_init_one_queue+0x15c/0x210
tegra241_cmdqv_init_structures+0x114/0x338
arm_smmu_device_probe+0xb48/0x1d90
Fix it by capping max_n_shift to CMDQ_MAX_SZ_SHIFT as SMMUv3 CMDQ does.
Remediation
Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from linux. Update linux_kernel to the latest patched version. 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.
