The global static blocked domain is a dummy domain without corresponding
dmar_domain structure, accessing beyond iommu_domain structure triggers
oops easily. Fix it by return early in domain_remove_dev_pasid() like
identity domain.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-52953 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A successful exploit results in full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 7.1.
