Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's accel/ethosu driver. The dma_length() function, responsible for calculating Direct Memory Access (DMA) region usage, contains several arithmetic issues. These issues, including potential underflows and overflows during calculations, can lead to an under-reporting of memory region sizes. This under-reporting can bypass crucial bounds validation checks, potentially allowing an attacker to access memory outside of its intended boundaries.
