AI-suggested

This vulnerability has been fixed in the Linux kernel versions identified by commits 50c27d412fedc95b8d54d477af47451a382e8cdd and 2b39d680c9e0fb4d625f2916980977622e84248c. Users and administrators should update to a Linux kernel version that includes these fixes to remediate the issue. No additional mitigation is required beyond applying the official patch.

Description

CVE-2026-97911 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel's ethosu accelerator driver. It occurs when userspace sets the job SRAM size to zero but still issues SRAM accesses, causing the driver to reuse a stale base address from a previous job. This can lead to unauthorized memory access and potential compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
