"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\niommu/vt-d: Restore context entry setup order for aliased devices\n\nCommit 2031c469f816 (\"iommu/vt-d: Add support for static identity domain\")\nchanged the context entry setup during domain attachment from a\nset-and-check policy to a clear-and-reset approach. This inadvertently\nintroduced a regression affecting PCI aliased devices behind PCIe-to-PCI\nbridges.\n\nSpecifically, keyboard and touchpad stopped working on several Apple\nMacbooks with below messages:\n\n kernel: platform pxa2xx-spi.3: Adding to iommu group 20\n kernel: input: Apple SPI Keyboard as\n /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.3/pxa2xx-spi.3/spi_master/spi2/spi-APP000D:00/input/input0\n kernel: DMAR: DRHD: handling fault status reg 3\n kernel: DMAR: [DMA Read NO_PASID] Request device [00:1e.3] fault addr\n 0xffffa000 [fault reason 0x06] PTE Read access is not set\n kernel: DMAR: DRHD: handling fault status reg 3\n kernel: DMAR: [DMA Read NO_PASID] Request device [00:1e.3] fault addr\n 0xffffa000 [fault reason 0x06] PTE Read access is not set\n kernel: applespi spi-APP000D:00: Error writing to device: 01 0e 00 00\n kernel: DMAR: DRHD: handling fault status reg 3\n kernel: DMAR: [DMA Read NO_PASID] Request device [00:1e.3] fault addr\n 0xffffa000 [fault reason 0x06] PTE Read access is not set\n kernel: DMAR: DRHD: handling fault status reg 3\n kernel: applespi spi-APP000D:00: Error writing to device: 01 0e 00 00\n\nFix this by restoring the previous context setup order."

"value": "AV:L - The faulty ordering is reached through local operations that attach or detach IOMMU domains — driver bind/unbind, device hotplug/probe, or VFIO/iommufd device assignment ioctls — not through any network-facing path.\nAC:L - On any platform with DMA-aliased devices (PCIe-to-PCI bridge children, or ACPI-scoped non-PCI devices sharing a parent's source-ID, which land in a separate IOMMU group via generic_device_group()), the clobber is deterministic and repeatable by simply triggering an attach on the sibling device; no race or unpredictable memory layout is involved.\nPR:L - Driving a domain attach requires only low-privileged local access to the device/VFIO interfaces, and in the device-assignment case the beneficiary is an unprivileged guest whose assigned device's context entry gets reprogrammed by an unrelated host attach.\nUI:N - No victim action is needed — the mis-ordered clear-and-reset happens automatically during normal device probe and default-domain attachment.\nS:C - This breaks the IOMMU/DMA isolation boundary itself: a shared context entry ends up programmed with another domain's page tables or with CONTEXT_TT_PASS_THROUGH, so DMA from one security domain reaches memory belonging to a different one (host memory from a guest-assigned device).\nC:H - A device left with the wrong domain's second-level page tables — or with pass-through translation — can DMA-read memory it was never granted, up to all host physical memory in the passthrough case.\nI:H - The same wrong or pass-through context entry grants DMA writes into another domain's or the host's physical memory, which is a direct arbitrary-write primitive usable for control-flow hijack; a stale entry can also point at a torn-down domain's page tables.\nA:H - The demonstrated effect is a DMAR fault storm and permanently dead devices (keyboard and touchpad stop working, \"DRHD: handling fault status reg 3\" flooding), and DMA through freed or wrong page tables can corrupt kernel memory and panic the system."
