In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: accel: ethosu: Fix element size accounting for cmd stream validation There are 2 issues with the element size handling in the command stream validation which result in too small of a size calculated when the element size is 16/32/64 bits. For NHWC format, the element size is simply missing from the calculation. The bitfield for the element size is different between IFM/IFM2 and OFM. IFM and IFM2 encode the precision in parameter bits 2:3, while OFM uses bits 1:2.

Affected products and versions

NVD has not supplied machine-readable vulnerable CPE product/version entries for this CVE. This is an information gap, not proof that no products are affected. Check the vendor advisory references below.

Remediation & validation

Identify exposure by comparing the affected product and version ranges with your asset inventory, SBOM and externally exposed services.
Review the linked vendor security advisory or patch notes. Upgrade to a vendor-confirmed fixed release; do not infer a fixed version from the CVE description.
Until patched, consider restricting network access or disabling the affected feature where operationally safe. These are temporary controls, not a substitute for a vendor fix.
Validate the remediation with a version check and vulnerability rescan, then retain change evidence.

No fixed version is displayed unless it is explicitly established by a vendor advisory. Follow the vendor's release notes for exact product and branch applicability.
