Description
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.
