Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommufd: Check for uptr overflow syzkaller found that setting up a map with a user VA that wraps past zero can trigger WARN_ONs, particularly from pin_user_pages weirdly returning 0 due to invalid arguments. Prevent creating a pages with a uptr and size that would math overflow.
