CVE-2023-53236

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

iommufd: Do not corrupt the pfn list when doing batch carry

If batch->end is 0 then setting npfns[0] before computing the new value of pfns will fail to adjust the pfn and result in various page accounting corruptions. It should be ordered after.

This seems to result in various kinds of page meta-data corruption related failures:
