Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-16 12:04:14 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

accel/ethosu: fix job completion fence cleanup

ethosu_ioctl_submit_job() allocates done_fence before validating buffer
handles. Errors after allocation call ethosu_job_err_cleanup(), which frees
the job but leaks the uninitialized fence.

A scheduler dependency error also lets ethosu_job_run() return before
dma_fence_init(). Normal cleanup then passes a zeroed refcount to
dma_fence_put().

Release done_fence in the common cleanup path and use
dma_fence_was_initialized() to distinguish initialized fences from raw
allocations.
