No network, Bluetooth, or USB packet supplies the triggering state.\nAC:L - The attacker queues decode/encode work so the VPU raises INT_WAVE5_DEC_PIC/ENC_PIC into inst->irq_status, then close()s so v4l2_m2m_ctx_release() kfree's m2m_ctx while the instance is still on dev->instances. Both sides of the race (STREAMON/QBUF vs close) are attacker-controlled and retryable.\nPR:L - v4l2_open, wave5_vpu_open_dec(), and wave5_vpu_open_enc() perform no capable() checks; access is only the video node. On TI K3 systems that ship this driver, that node is available to unprivileged video-group or media-client users, not init-namespace root.\nUI:N - The attacker opens the Wave5 decoder or encoder themselves, STREAMONs, and close()s that fd to enter wave5_vpu_release_device(). No separate victim action such as mounting a filesystem is required.\nS:U - The UAF of inst->v4l2_fh.m2m_ctx is in the host Wave5 media driver and affects the same kernel security authority. It is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or other cross-boundary impact.\nC:H - After v4l2_m2m_ctx_release() kfree's m2m_ctx, wave5_vpu_irq_thread() still finds the instance on dev->instances and wave5_vpu_dec_finish_decode()/wave5_vpu_enc_finish_encode() read the freed object (v4l2_m2m_get_dst_vq and related helpers), a slab UAF that enables arbitrary read.\nI:H - The same finish_process path writes through the freed m2m_ctx via v4l2_m2m_job_finish(), v4l2_m2m_dst_buf_remove_by_idx()/v4l2_m2m_src_buf_remove_by_idx(), and v4l2_m2m_buf_done(), so reclaiming the kzalloc'd context yields a kernel write/control-flow primitive.\nA:H - Use of the dangling m2m_ctx in wave5_vpu_dec_finish_decode()/wave5_vpu_enc_finish_encode() oopses the kernel (the commit documents a NULL deref of the freed context) even when the UAF is not fully exploited."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/media/platform/chips-media/wave5/wave5-helper.c"], "versions": [{"version": "9707a6254a8a6b978bde811a44fe07d86c229d1c", "lessThan": "0e6bdd437a3c7a5d8846d7f58fe9645a60ec0933", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "9707a6254a8a6b978bde811a44fe07d86c229d1c", "lessThan": "04cda0b5c4ca3f61cbc86e41ead3c462c8cfd659", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "9707a6254a8a6b978bde811a44fe07d86c229d1c", "lessThan": "7cdbd7bb21949a8fda10c7104a2b12ee363cbf5c", "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/chips-media/wave5/wave5-helper.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.8", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.8", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.114", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.53", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.2", "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": "6.8", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.114"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.8", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.53"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.8", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0e6bdd437a3c7a5d8846d7f58fe9645a60ec0933"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/04cda0b5c4ca3f61cbc86e41ead3c462c8cfd659"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7cdbd7bb21949a8fda10c7104a2b12ee363cbf5c"}], "title": "media: chips-media: wave5: Release m2m_ctx after Instance Removed from List", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
