Vulnerability from github
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/vt-d: Remove cache tags before disabling ATS
The current implementation removes cache tags after disabling ATS, leading to potential memory leaks and kernel crashes. Specifically, CACHE_TAG_DEVTLB type cache tags may still remain in the list even after the domain is freed, causing a use-after-free condition.
This issue really shows up when multiple VFs from different PFs passed through to a single user-space process via vfio-pci. In such cases, the kernel may crash with kernel messages like:

Move cache_tag_unassign_domain() before iommu_disable_pci_caps() to fix it.
