Out-of-Bounds Write in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-53203)
Summary
Out-of-bounds write in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-53203). Confidential information can be exposed externally.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
accel/ivpu: Add buffer overflow check in MS get_info_ioctl
Add validation that the info size returned from the metric stream info
query is not exceeded when checked against the allocated buffer size.
If the firmware returns a size larger than the buffer, reject the
operation with -EOVERFLOW instead of proceeding with an incorrect
buffer copy.
