In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/amd: Bounds-check devid in __rlookup_amd_iommu()
iommu_device_register() walks every device on the PCI bus via
bus_for_each_dev() and calls amd_iommu_probe_device() for each. The
inlined check_device() path computes the device's sbdf, calls
rlookup_amd_iommu() to find the owning IOMMU, and only afterwards
verifies devid <= pci_seg->last_bdf. __rlookup_amd_iommu() indexes
rlookup_table[devid] with no bounds check of its own, so for a PCI
device whose BDF is not described by the IVRS, the lookup reads past
the end of the allocation before the caller's bounds check can run.
This was harmless before commit e874c666b15b ("iommu/amd: Change
rlookup, irq_lookup, and alias to use kvalloc()"): the table was a
zeroed page-order allocation, so the over-read returned NULL and the
caller's NULL check skipped the device. After that commit the table is
a tight kvcalloc() and the over-read returns adjacent slab contents,
which check_device() then dereferences as a struct amd_iommu *,
causing a boot-time GPF.
Seen on Google Compute Engine ct6e VMs, where the virtualized IVRS
describes only the four TPU endpoints 00:04.0-07.0; the gVNIC at
00:08.0 (devid 0x40) indexes 56 bytes past the 456-byte allocation,
into the adjacent kmalloc-512 slab object:

on 6.18.22, the gVNIC at 00:08.0 is skipped cleanly and the VM boots.
What the EG score is made of (scorer v4.0: the three questions the 0–10 score mixes, published apart · methodology)
The EG score (5.5): severity, escalated by confirmed exploitation. This CVE's 5.5 is its impact severity (EG Severity), not escalated.

Exploitation none (no CISA value, KEV listing or exploit code on record) · Automatable no (CISA's BOD 26-04 default) · Technical impact total (CISA's BOD 26-04 default). EchelonGraph holds no SSVC assessment of this CVE from CISA: none of these inputs is from Vulnrichment. EchelonGraph applied CISA's decision table to them; CISA publishes SSVC inputs and the table, not a decision for each CVE. Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it. CISA's table makes it high when Mission Prevalence is Essential — the vulnerable component "directly provides capabilities that constitute at least one MEF for at least one entity" (MEF: mission essential function) — or when Public Well-Being Impact is Irreversible: "multiple fatalities are likely", the cyber-physical system "is likely lost or destroyed", "extreme or serious externalities" are imposed on other parties, or social systems such as elections or the financial grid "are destabilized and potentially collapse". CISA's decision table
BOD 26-04 (CISA's remediation timeline, Table 1)14 days if the affected system is publicly exposed; Fix on system upgrade if it is not.
In CISA KEV no (CISA's KEV catalog) · Automatable no (CISA's BOD 26-04 default) · Technical impact total (CISA's BOD 26-04 default). Where an input reads “CISA's BOD 26-04 default”, no one has published it for this CVE, and CISA's implementation guidance says: “If “Automatable” and “Technical Impact” information items about a CVE ID are not available and the CVE ID is not in the KEV Catalog, CISA will treat its values as “no” and “total,” respectively, until CISA or a third party provides metadata about the CVE ID. CISA will always provide the Vulnrichment data for a CVE ID listed in the KEV Catalog.” Whether your system is publicly exposed is yours to answer. BOD 26-04 binds US Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies; for anyone else it is CISA's published timeline, a reference rather than an obligation. The directive · how EchelonGraph applies it
