A fix has been implemented in the Linux kernel, identified by commits eb3a41fd35e352fba387c4320a1fa0352f3e551c and bf957f166f7ba548034db2a10e63f71df97f12e2. Users should update to the fixed Linux kernel version 6.19 or later containing these commits to remediate the vulnerability.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's ethosu accelerator component was fixed by ensuring the command stream ends with a stop operation. The issue involved uncertainty whether the hardware generates an interrupt to prevent a timeout when the command stream might access out of bounds. The fix enforces the presence of a stop operation at the end of the command stream to prevent potential timeout conditions.
