Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-25 09:31 – Updated: 2026-06-28 09:31

Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

accel/ethosu: fix arithmetic issues in dma_length()

dma_length() derives DMA region usage from command stream values and updates region_size[]:

len = ((len + stride[0]) * size0 + stride[1]) * size1
region_size[region] = max(..., len + dma->offset)

Several arithmetic issues can corrupt the derived region size:

signed stride values may underflow when added to len
intermediate multiplications may overflow
len + dma->offset may overflow during region_size updates
dma_length() error returns were not validated by the caller

region_size[] is later used by ethosu_job.c to validate command stream accesses against GEM buffer sizes. Arithmetic wraparound can therefore under-report region usage and bypass the bounds validation.

Fix by validating signed additions, using overflow helpers for multiplications and offset updates, and propagating dma_length() failures to the caller.

Severity

8.8 (High)
