Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Arm Ethos-U accelerator driver. When scheduler initialization fails during a job open operation, the driver returns an incorrect positive status code instead of a standard negative error number. A local user can trigger this issue by opening an accelerator job file descriptor, which may cause user-space applications to improperly handle initialization failures and lead to unexpected behavior.
