Recommended response

Check inventory. Check lockfiles and deployed manifests for Linux/Linux.
Review the reported fix. Update Linux/Linux to 981686f4137760a16a03c5193f11d85133533f93 if you use the affected versions. Test the change in a non-production environment first.

Sources and claim methodology

Upstream source description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Manage teardown with devm arm_smmu_device_remove() manually frees the IOPF queue, destroys the vmid_map and disables the device, while the IRQs and queues are devm managed. devm unwinds only after remove() returns, so the cleanup runs in the wrong order. The IOPF queue is freed before the event-queue IRQ whose handler uses it. Manage all of it with devm so the unwind order is correct. Free the IOPF queue and vmid_map via devm actions, and disable the device from one registered after arm_smmu_device_reset(). This is also a prerequisite for fixing a Tegra241 CMDQV CMD_SYNC use-after-free in the subsequent patch.
