CVE-2026-98254

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

swiotlb: use the adjusted address for the highmem page lookup

swiotlb_bounce() reads the page frame number from the slot's recorded
orig_addr, then advances orig_addr by tlb_offset to reach the address
the caller asked about. The highmem branch mixes the two: the offset
within the page comes from the adjusted address, the page from the value
before it. Once the adjustment crosses a page boundary the pair no longer describes
one location, and the whole copy lands one page below the intended one
for a positive tlb_offset, one above for a negative one. DMA_FROM_DEVICE
writes the device data over the wrong page and leaves the intended one
stale, DMA_TO_DEVICE feeds the device from a page the mapping may not
cover. Partial syncs through dma_sync_single_range_for_*() are what make
tlb_offset non-zero. The branch test is picked the same way, so a slot recorded in lowmem can
be adjusted into highmem and the lowmem path then hands a highmem
address to phys_to_virt(). Take both from orig_addr once it is final and keep pfn in the branch
that uses it. PhysHighMem() asks the question straight from the address,
as dma-debug already does.
