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().
