Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's dfl-afu FPGA driver. A local user could exploit this vulnerability by providing an excessively large length value during Direct Memory Access (DMA) mapping operations. The system incorrectly truncates this value, leading to memory corruption. This could allow a local attacker to gain elevated privileges or execute arbitrary code on the system.
