In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fpga: dfl-afu: validate DMA mapping length in afu_dma_map_region() afu_ioctl_dma_map() accepts a 64-bit length from userspace via DFL_FPGA_PORT_DMA_MAP ioctl without an upper bound check. The value is passed to afu_dma_pin_pages() where npages is derived as length >> PAGE_SHIFT and passed to pin_user_pages_fast() which takes int nr_pages, causing implicit truncation if length is very large. Validate map.length at the ioctl entry point before calling afu_dma_map_region(), rejecting values whose page count exceeds INT_MAX.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's `dfl-afu` FPGA driver. A local user could exploit this vulnerability by providing an excessively large length value during Direct Memory Access (DMA) mapping operations. The system incorrectly truncates this value, leading to memory corruption. This could allow a local attacker to gain elevated privileges or execute arbitrary code on the system.
