CVE-2026-10669

Summary (CVE-2026-10669) : On Xtensa SoCs with CONFIG_XTENSA_MPU and CONFIG_USERSPACE, arch_buffer_validate() erroneously permits access when the buffer size rounds to a wrap of the 32-bit address space, bypassing MPU checks. This can let an unprivileged user-thread validate or copy memory it sho...
