Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the `altera-cvp` FPGA driver within the Linux kernel. The `altera_cvp_send_block()` function can perform an out-of-bounds read when processing the trailing bytes of an input buffer. This occurs if the buffer ends at a page or scatterlist boundary, causing the function to read past valid image data. A local attacker could potentially exploit this to trigger a system fault, leading to a denial of service.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-11 22:35:28 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fpga: altera-cvp: Avoid out-of-bounds read in trailing byte write

The trailing byte path in altera_cvp_send_block() dereferences a u32
pointer even when only 1-3 bytes remain in the input buffer. If the buffer
ends at a page or scatterlist boundary, this can read past the valid image
data and fault.

Copy the remaining bytes into a zero-initialized u32 before writing the
final word so only valid bytes are read from the input buffer.
