In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommufd: Require drivers to supply the cache_invalidate_user ops
If drivers don't do this then iommufd will oops invalidation ioctls with
something like:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000

All existing drivers implement this op for nesting, this is mostly a
