In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vhost-vdpa: fix an iotlb memory leak
Before commit 3d5698793897 ("vhost-vdpa: introduce asid based IOTLB")
we called vhost_vdpa_iotlb_unmap(v, iotlb, 0ULL, 0ULL - 1) during
release to free all the resources allocated when processing user IOTLB
messages through vhost_vdpa_process_iotlb_update().
That commit changed the handling of IOTLB a bit, and we accidentally
removed some code called during the release.
We partially fixed this with commit 037d4305569a ("vhost-vdpa: call
vhost_vdpa_cleanup during the release") but a potential memory leak is
still there as showed by kmemleak if the application does not send
VHOST_IOTLB_INVALIDATE or crashes:
unreferenced object 0xffff888007fbaa30 (size 16):
comm "blkio-bench", pid 914, jiffies 4294993521 (age 885.500s)

Let's fix this calling vhost_vdpa_iotlb_unmap() on the whole range in
vhost_vdpa_remove_as(). We move that call before vhost_dev_cleanup()
since we need a valid v->vdev.mm in vhost_vdpa_pa_unmap().
vhost_iotlb_reset() call can be removed, since vhost_vdpa_iotlb_unmap()
on the whole range removes all the entries.
The kmemleak log reported was observed with a vDPA device that has use_va
set to true (e.g. VDUSE). This patch has been tested with both types of
devices.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's vhost-vdpa component. This memory leak vulnerability occurs when an application using vhost-vdpa fails to properly invalidate I/O Translation Lookaside Buffer (IOTLB) entries or crashes. A local attacker or application could exploit this flaw, leading to memory exhaustion and potentially a Denial of Service (DoS) on the affected system.
