Description

A flaw was found in the altera-cvp FPGA driver within the Linux kernel. The altera_cvp_send_block() function can perform an out-of-bounds read when processing the trailing bytes of an input buffer. This occurs if the buffer ends at a page or scatterlist boundary, causing the function to read past valid image data. A local attacker could potentially exploit this to trigger a system fault, leading to a denial of service.
