Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/vt-d: Fix qi_batch NULL pointer with nested parent domain
The qi_batch is allocated when assigning cache tag for a domain. While
for nested parent domain, it is missed. Hence, when trying to map pages
to the nested parent, NULL dereference occurred. Also, there is potential
memleak since there is no lock around domain->qi_batch allocation.
To solve it, add a helper for qi_batch allocation, and call it in both
the __cache_tag_assign_domain() and __cache_tag_assign_parent_domain().
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000200

CWE-401
Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime
The product does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, which slowly consumes remaining memory.
