Subject: CVE-2023-54095: powerpc/iommu: Fix notifiers being shared by PCI and VIO buses

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

powerpc/iommu: Fix notifiers being shared by PCI and VIO buses

fail_iommu_setup() registers the fail_iommu_bus_notifier struct to both
PCI and VIO buses.  struct notifier_block is a linked list node, so this
causes any notifiers later registered to either bus type to also be
registered to the other since they share the same node.

This causes issues in (at least) the vgaarb code, which registers a
notifier for PCI buses.  pci_notify() ends up being called on a vio
device, converted with to_pci_dev() even though it's not a PCI device,
and finally makes a bad access in vga_arbiter_add_pci_device() as
discovered with KASAN:

 BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in vga_arbiter_add_pci_device+0x60/0xe00

Fix this by creating separate notifier_block structs for each bus type.

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:
