Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
accel/ethosu: reject NPU_OP_RESIZE commands from userspace<br />
<br />
NPU_OP_RESIZE is a U85-only command that the driver does not yet<br />
implement. The existing WARN_ON(1) placeholder fires unconditionally<br />
whenever userspace submits this command via DRM_IOCTL_ETHOSU_GEM_CREATE,<br />
causing unbounded kernel log spam.<br />
<br />
If panic_on_warn is set the kernel panics, giving any unprivileged user<br />
with access to the DRM device a trivial denial-of-service primitive.<br />
<br />
Replace the WARN_ON(1) with an explicit -EINVAL return so the ioctl<br />
rejects the command before it reaches hardware.
