In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommufd: Protect against overflow of ALIGN() during iova allocation
Userspace can supply an iova and uptr such that the target iova alignment becomes really big and ALIGN() overflows which corrupts the selected area range during allocation. CONFIG_IOMMUFD_TEST can detect this:

Cap the automatic alignment to the huge page size, which is probably a better idea overall. Huge automatic alignments can fragment and chew up the available IOVA space without any reason.
