A spec-conforming AV1 parser caps tile counts at 64, so a remote bitstream does not produce the malformed values.\nAC:L - The attacker sets tile_cols or tile_rows to any value from 65 to 255. validate_av1_frame() never checks them, and the driver's num_tiles check in vdec_av1_slice_setup_tile_group() runs after vdec_av1_slice_setup_pfc() has already done the copy, so the overflow happens on every such request.\nPR:L - It needs only the ability to open the decoder video node, which is normally granted to the video group or to media/GPU processes. No capability check lies on the ioctl or request-queue path to vdec_av1_slice_lat_decode().\nUI:N - The attacker supplies the control payload and queues the request themselves. No other user has to do anything.\nS:U - This is a heap overflow in kernel memory. It gives kernel-level impact within the same security authority, not a VM or IOMMU boundary crossing.\nC:H - Writing up to 764 bytes past mi_row_starts[] runs off the end of the kzalloc'd vdec_av1_slice_pfc into the neighbouring slab object. That corruption can be used to build read primitives and leak kernel memory.\nI:H - The written values are ALIGN(ctrl_tile->mi_*_starts[i]) >> mib_size_log2, taken from the attacker's own control payload. This gives an attacker-shaped heap out-of-bounds write that can corrupt neighbouring objects.\nA:H - Corrupting the pfc fields past the tile arrays (frame, state, ref_idx) and the neighbouring slab object can oops the kernel or hang the decoder, and any local user with device access can repeat it."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/media/platform/mediatek/vcodec/decoder/vdec/vdec_av1_req_lat_if.c"], "versions": [{"version": "0934d37596151edce115c6d0843a9ad7d5e5d232", "lessThan": "ad47a250afafa3a51cfb4a004463ff28e66c596e", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "0934d37596151edce115c6d0843a9ad7d5e5d232", "lessThan": "7992059c045780095ba5a696dcb2f5400a82803c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "0934d37596151edce115c6d0843a9ad7d5e5d232", "lessThan": "eb0ea3898e3921900939e30c3946dd2b52281859", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "0934d37596151edce115c6d0843a9ad7d5e5d232", "lessThan": "37bef2170d4c88fc3d708eecf3ef0f4032bc1372", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/media/platform/mediatek/vcodec/decoder/vdec/vdec_av1_req_lat_if.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.6", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.6", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.111", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.53", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.2.7", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.3-rc3", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.111"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.53"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.7"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3-rc3"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ad47a250afafa3a51cfb4a004463ff28e66c596e"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7992059c045780095ba5a696dcb2f5400a82803c"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/eb0ea3898e3921900939e30c3946dd2b52281859"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/37bef2170d4c88fc3d708eecf3ef0f4032bc1372"}], "title": "media: mediatek: vcodec: bound AV1 tile-start copy to the array capacity", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
