Title
iommu/vt-d: Fix NULL domain on device release
Summary
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

Use the release_domain mechanism to fix it. The scalable mode context
entry which is not part of release domain should be cleared in
release_device().

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
