Subject: CVE-2026-89730: fpga: altera-cvp: Avoid out-of-bounds read in trailing byte write
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 21:46:59 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026091102-CVE-2026-89730-cb5f@gregkh> (raw)
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>
Description
===========
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.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-89730 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
