Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-98282)

CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow

CVSSv4: 0 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to bypass I/O bus address range validation.

The vulnerability exists due to incomplete integer overflow and range validation in iommu_tce_check_ioba() in the PowerPC IOMMU code when validating multi-page requests for H_STUFF_TCE or H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT. A local user can supply a multi-page range that causes arithmetic overflow or exceeds the TCE table capacity to bypass I/O bus address range validation.

The affected validation function is shared by KVM and VFIO.
