About vulnerability

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dmaengine: idxd: fix possible wrong descriptor completion in llist_abort_desc() At the end of this function, d is the traversal cursor of flist, but the code completes found instead. This can lead to issues such as NULL pointer dereferences, double completion, or descriptor leaks. Fix this by completing d instead of found in the final list_for_each_entry_safe() loop. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s dmaengine subsystem, specifically within the idxd driver. This vulnerability occurs due to incorrect descriptor completion in the llist_abort_desc() function. This can lead to issues such as NULL pointer dereferences, double completion, or descriptor leaks, which can result in a denial of service.
