Remote data disclosure via premature DMA unmapping
Published Nov 19, 2024 · Updated Aug 5, 2026
DMA use-after-unmap in the Linux stmmac TSO transmit path allows remote attackers to disclose data or interrupt networking. The path records a non-paged buffer mapping on the first descriptor instead of the final descriptor, so cleanup unmaps it while later descriptors can still use it. Affected stmmac hardware with TSO can transmit recycled kernel data, corrupt frames, or trigger IOMMU faults and link loss when qualifying traffic spans multiple descriptors.
