Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's asynchronous compression (`acomp`) subsystem. When an asynchronous hardware implementation, such as the QAT driver, completes a request that uses the DMA virtual address interface, an incorrect pointer is stored. This leads to memory corruption within the `acomp_reqchain_done()` function, which can result in a denial of service (DoS) due to a general protection fault.
