CVE-2026-53205

HIGH 7.1

Published 2026-06-25 · Last modified 2026-06-28

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: accel/ivpu: Add bounds checks for firmware log indices Add validation that read and write indices in the firmware log buffer are within valid bounds (< data_size) before using them. If out-of-bounds indices are encountered (from firmware), clamp them to safe values instead of proceeding with invalid offsets. This prevents potential out-of-bounds buffer access when firmware supplies invalid log indices.

ELEVATED IMPACT

Severe if exploited (CVSS 7.1), but no known exploitation and low modeled probability. Patch on a normal cadence.
