CVE-2026-53159: misc: fastrpc: fix DMA address corruption due to find_vma misuse

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

misc: fastrpc: fix DMA address corruption due to findvma misuse

fastrpcgetargs() uses findvma() to look up the VMA for a user-provided pointer and compute a DMA address offset. When the address falls in a gap before the returned VMA, (ptr & PAGEMASK) - vma->vmstart underflows, corrupting the DMA address sent to the DSP.

Replace findvma() with vmalookup(), which returns NULL when the address is not contained within any VMA.

Remediation

Recommended actions to resolve this vulnerability, in priority order.

  1. Upgrade

    Upgrade to a fixed release to a version that resolves this vulnerability.

    Fixed in 6.6.143.1-1
  2. Configuration

    Update the Linux kernel fastrpc code so that fastrpc_get_args() uses vma_lookup() instead of find_vma(). Ensure the code treats the vma lookup result as NULL when the provided address is not contained within any VMA, preventing (ptr & PAGE_MASK) - vma->vm_start underflow and DMA address corruption.

    Linux kernel (fastrpc) Replace find_vma() with vma_lookup() for VMA lookup in fastrpc_get_args() = Use vma_lookup() and handle NULL when address falls in a gap before the returned VMA
