Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fpga: altera-cvp: Avoid out-of-bounds read in trailing byte write
Date: Wed,  1 Jul 2026 09:26:32 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260701092633.5146-1-dskmtsd@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Daisuke Matsuda <matsuda@preferred.jp>

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.

Fixes: 34d1dc17ce97 ("fpga manager: Add Altera CvP driver")
