CVE-2026-74355
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/vt-d: Fix RB-tree corruption in probe error path
The info->node RB-tree member is zero-initialized via kzalloc. If a device does not support ATS, the device_rbtree_insert() call is skipped. If a subsequent probe step fails, the error path jumps to device_rbtree_remove(), which misinterprets the zeroed node as a tree root and corrupts the device RB-tree.
Fix this by explicitly initializing the RB-node as empty using RB_CLEAR_NODE() during initialization and guarding the removal with RB_EMPTY_NODE().
