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's 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's 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."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/media/platform/verisilicon/rockchip_vpu981_hw_av1_dec.c"], "versions": [{"version": "727a400686a2c0d25015c9e44916a59b72882f83", "lessThan": "8659e5fc21a82e00fb2db1557f2e06f0fca06b90", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "727a400686a2c0d25015c9e44916a59b72882f83", "lessThan": "7baa7bb1b784c19170df8c99466fa412040eb431", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "727a400686a2c0d25015c9e44916a59b72882f83", "lessThan": "8f19d869a9f6800547c9ad7ebaf3b94f973dab50", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "727a400686a2c0d25015c9e44916a59b72882f83", "lessThan": "6b7a281a815ae7c5e7bb2aad039ffea9bc933157", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "727a400686a2c0d25015c9e44916a59b72882f83", "lessThan": "b84f6533a8ed2fd7b282fc7ab4b8efadc745a89c", "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/verisilicon/rockchip_vpu981_hw_av1_dec.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.5", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.5", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.158", "lessThanOrEqual": "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", "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": "6.5", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.158"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.5", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.111"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.5", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.53"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.5", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.7"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.5", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8659e5fc21a82e00fb2db1557f2e06f0fca06b90"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7baa7bb1b784c19170df8c99466fa412040eb431"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8f19d869a9f6800547c9ad7ebaf3b94f973dab50"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6b7a281a815ae7c5e7bb2aad039ffea9bc933157"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b84f6533a8ed2fd7b282fc7ab4b8efadc745a89c"}], "title": "media: verisilicon: rockchip: guard VPU981 AV1 divisor and tile buffer", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
