AI-suggested
A fix has been implemented in the Linux kernel to address this vulnerability. Users should apply the official kernel updates that include this patch to affected versions. Since this is a kernel-level issue, updating to the fixed kernel versions is the recommended remediation.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's fpga altera-cvp driver could cause an out-of-bounds read when writing trailing bytes. This occurs because the function altera_cvp_send_block() dereferences a 32-bit pointer even when only 1-3 bytes remain in the input buffer, potentially reading past valid data and causing a fault. The issue is fixed by copying remaining bytes into a zero-initialized 32-bit value before the final write.
