CVE-2024-27079
Intel IOMMU NULL Pointer Dereference Vulnerability
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommu/vt-d: Fix NULL domain on device release In the kdump kernel, the IOMMU operates in deferred_attach mode. In this mode, info->domain may not yet be assigned by the time the release_device function is called. It leads to the following crash in the crash kernel: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 000000000000003c ...

The scalable mode context entry which is not part of release domain should be cleared in release_device().
