Subject: CVE-2024-40945: iommu: Return right value in iommu_sva_bind_device()
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu: Return right value in iommu_sva_bind_device()
iommu_sva_bind_device() should return either a sva bond handle or an
ERR_PTR value in error cases. Existing drivers (idxd and uacce) only
check the return value with IS_ERR(). This could potentially lead to
a kernel NULL pointer dereference issue if the function returns NULL
instead of an error pointer.
In reality, this doesn't cause any problems because iommu_sva_bind_device()
only returns NULL when the kernel is not configured with CONFIG_IOMMU_SVA.
In this case, iommu_dev_enable_feature(dev, IOMMU_DEV_FEAT_SVA) will
return an error, and the device drivers won't call iommu_sva_bind_device()
at all.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-40945 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
