  "details": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\naccel/ethosu: fix OOB write in ethosu_gem_cmdstream_copy_and_validate()\n\nThe command stream parsing loop increments the index variable a second\ntime when a 64-bit command word is encountered (bit 14 set), but does\nnot re-check the loop bound before writing the second word:\n\n    for (i = 0; i \u003c size / 4; i++) {\n        bocmds[i] = cmds[0];\n        if (cmd \u0026 0x4000) {\n            i++;\n            bocmds[i] = cmds[1];   /* unchecked */\n        }\n    }\n\nThe buffer bocmds is backed by a DMA allocation of exactly size bytes\nfrom drm_gem_dma_create(ddev, size), giving valid indices [0, size/4-1].\n\nWhen i == size/4 - 1 on entry to an iteration and bit 14 of cmds[0] is\nset, bocmds[size/4-1] is written in bounds, i is then incremented to\nsize/4, and bocmds[size/4] writes four bytes past the end of the\nallocation.\n\nUserspace controls both the buffer contents and the size argument via\nthe ioctl, making this a userspace-triggerable heap out-of-bounds write.\n\nFix by checking the incremented index against the buffer bound before\nthe second write and returning -EINVAL if the buffer is too small to\ncontain the extended command.",
