In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
accel/qaic: Treat remaining == 0 as error in find_and_map_user_pages()
Currently, if find_and_map_user_pages() takes a DMA xfer request from the
user with a length field set to 0, or in a rare case, the host receives
QAIC_TRANS_DMA_XFER_CONT from the device where resources->xferred_dma_size
is equal to the requested transaction size, the function will return 0
before allocating an sgt or setting the fields of the dma_xfer struct.
In that case, encode_addr_size_pairs() will try to access the sgt which
will lead to a general protection fault.
Return an EINVAL in case the user provides a zero-sized ALP, or the device
requests continuation after all of the bytes have been transferred.
