In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/panthor: harden firmware build-info bounds checks
panthor_fw_read_build_info() checks whether the metadata range fits in the
firmware image with hdr.meta_start + hdr.meta_size. Both fields are u32, so
the addition can wrap and let an out-of-bounds range pass validation.
The function also reads the "git_sha: " prefix without first checking that
the metadata is long enough, and meta_size == 0 can underflow the NULL
terminator index.
Use subtraction-based bounds checking and reject metadata that is too short
to contain the expected prefix and trailing NULL byte.

Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
