In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommufd: Break the loop on failure in iommufd_fault_fops_read() On a copy_to_user() failure inside the inner list_for_each_entry, only the inner loop breaks; the outer while re-fetches the just-restored fault group and retries the failing copy_to_user() forever, spinning the reader at 100% CPU with fault->mutex held. Check rc after the inner loop and break the outer while as well.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's `iommufd` component. When a `copy_to_user()` operation fails within the `iommufd_fault_fops_read()` function, the system enters an infinite loop. This continuous retry consumes 100% of the CPU and holds a mutex, which can lead to a denial of service (DoS) for affected systems.
