Subject: CVE-2025-71071: iommu/mediatek: fix use-after-free on probe deferral

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

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

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

iommu/mediatek: fix use-after-free on probe deferral

The driver is dropping the references taken to the larb devices during
probe after successful lookup as well as on errors. This can
potentially lead to a use-after-free in case a larb device has not yet
been bound to its driver so that the iommu driver probe defers.

Fix this by keeping the references as expected while the iommu driver is
bound.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2025-71071 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:
