It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-53171 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-53171/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-53171/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-53171","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-53171/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-53171","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2026-53171","GHSA-vp3v-wxjh-fcp5","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-53171"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Integer overflows in the Ethos-U accelerator driver allow bypassing bounds checks, potentially leading to privilege escalation or code execution.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"integer_overflow"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\naccel/ethosu: fix arithmetic issues in dma_length()\n\ndma_length() derives DMA region usage from command stream values and\nupdates region_size[]:\n\n    len = ((len + stride[0]) * size0 + stride[1]) * size1\n    region_size[region] = max(..., len + dma-\u003eoffset)\n\nSeveral arithmetic issues can corrupt the derived region size:\n\n- signed stride values may underflow when added to len\n- intermediate multiplications may overflow\n- len + dma-\u003eoffset may overflow during region_size updates\n- dma_length() error returns were not validated by the caller\n\nregion_size[] is later used by ethosu_job.c to validate command stream\naccesses against GEM buffer sizes.
