CWE-ID: CWE-665 - Improper Initialization

The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to improper state management in the iommu mapping error-handling logic in drivers/iommu/iommu.c when handling partial mapping failures with iommu_debug enabled. A local user can trigger a mapping error that leads to an unmatched unmap operation to cause a denial of service.
Exploitation requires iommu_debug to be enabled.
