Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-09-25 11:17 - Updated: 2026-09-25 15:17

Severity

7.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: verisilicon: rockchip: guard VPU981 AV1 divisor and tile buffer rockchip_vpu981_av1_dec_set_tile_info() divides context_update_tile_id by tile_info->tile_cols and writes one descriptor per tile into the tile_info DMA buffer, which holds AV1_MAX_TILES entries; tile_cols and tile_rows come from the bitstream. Guard the division against a zero tile_cols by initialising the context-update values to zero and computing them only when tile_cols is non-zero, and stop the descriptor writes once the tile_info buffer is full. The tile geometry written to the hardware registers is left unmodified; the per-dimension and total tile bounds are enforced by the control validation.

              "value": "AV:L - The bad tile_cols/tile_rows reach rockchip_vpu981_av1_dec_set_tile_info() through the V4L2_CID_STATELESS_AV1_FRAME control, set with VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS/media request ioctls on the local hantro /dev/videoN node and run via rockchip_vpu981_av1_dec_run(). No remote protocol carries the values; a userspace AV1 parser would have to pass through values that break the spec.\nAC:L - validate_av1_frame() never checks tile_cols or tile_rows, so any caller can set tile_cols=0 (divide by zero) or 255x255 tiles (writes far past the 2 KiB tile_info buffer). Nothing outside the attacker\u0027s control is needed; the fault happens every time the job runs.\nPR:L - The only requirement is opening the VPU981 AV1 stateless decoder video node, which the logged-in user (video group) or the Android/ChromeOS media codec process normally can do. The ioctl path has no capability check.\nUI:N - The attacker queues the malicious control and request themselves, and the device_run worker processes it without any action by another user.\nS:U - The corruption stays in the kernel\u0027s own memory and security authority. No VM, IOMMU, or other boundary is crossed.\nC:H - tile_id reaches about 65,000 while the tile_group_entry dynamic array holds at most 512 entries, and indexes of width/height_in_sbs_minus_1 above 64 run past those arrays. Out-of-bounds kernel data is read into the descriptors, and the memory corruption can be used to leak data.\nI:H - The loop writes 16 bytes per tile, up to 255*255 tiles (about 1 MiB), past the 128-entry (2 KiB) dma_alloc_coherent tile_info buffer. The x0/y0/start/end values it writes are largely user-controlled, so it is a large, content-controlled kernel memory overwrite.\nA:H - tile_cols=0 causes a divide error when computing context_update_tile_id, which oopses the kernel. The large out-of-bounds write also corrupts memory next to the buffer and crashes the system."

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
