  - The caching invalidation guidelines from the AMD-Vi specification (48882Rev 3.07-PUBOct 2022) is
    incorrect on some hardware, as devices will malfunction (see stale DMA mappings) if some fields of the DTE
    are updated but the IOMMU TLB is not flushed. Such stale DMA mappings can point to memory ranges not owned
    by the guest, thus allowing access to unindented memory regions. (CVE-2023-34326)
