"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nmedia: v4l2-ctrls: validate HEVC active reference counts\n\nHEVC slice parameters are shared stateless V4L2 controls, but the common\nvalidation path does not verify the active L0/L1 reference counts before\ndriver-specific code consumes them.\n\nThe original report came from Cedrus, but the active count bounds are\nnot Cedrus-specific. Validate them in the common HEVC slice control path\nso stateless HEVC drivers get the same basic guarantees as soon as the\ncontrol is queued.\n\nDo not reject ref_idx_l0/ref_idx_l1 entries here. Existing userspace may\nuse out-of-range sentinel values such as 0xff for missing references, and\nsome hardware can use that information for concealment. Keep this common\ncheck limited to the active reference counts."

"value": "AV:L - The control is only settable through VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS on the local V4L2 stateless decoder node (/dev/videoN), followed by QBUF/STREAMON on the same fd. There is no network or remote path into the HEVC slice-params control.\nAC:L - The attacker supplies num_ref_idx_l0/l1_active_minus1 verbatim as a u8; any value in 16..254 deterministically drives the loops in cedrus_h265_is_low_delay() and rkvdec_hevc set_ps_field() out of bounds on the very next decode run. No race, timing window, or uncontrollable memory layout is involved.\nPR:L - Only an unprivileged local account holding the video device node is required (typically the 'video' group, or the media/codec service reachable from sandboxed apps on Android and embedded Allwinner/Rockchip devices). cedrus_try_ctrl() checks only SPS chroma format and bit depth; no capability or root check exists on the path.\nUI:N - The attacking process performs the whole sequence itself: open the decoder, set the crafted HEVC slice-params control, queue buffers and start streaming. No victim action, media file, or mount is needed.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds accesses stay inside the kernel's own slab and DMA memory within the same security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - decode_params->dpb[] holds 16 16-byte entries at the tail of a ~336-byte control allocation, so an index up to 255 reads roughly 3.8 KB of adjacent kernel heap; the pred-weight loops likewise read 240 bytes past slice_params. Those OOB bytes are fed into decoder SRAM and steer the low-delay decision, giving an attacker-steerable oracle over unrelated kernel memory.\nI:H - In rkvdec-hevc, REF_PIC_IDX_L0(i)/REF_PIC_LONG_TERM_L1(i) with i up to 255 resolve to bit offset ~1276 in an 8-word rkvdec_rps_packet, so set_ps_field() performs an out-of-bounds write of attacker-chosen bits at an attacker-chosen offset into (and past the end of) the coherent DMA priv_tbl, corrupting hardware descriptor state and adjacent memory.\nA:H - Reading several kilobytes past a slab object can walk into an unmapped or poisoned region and trips KASAN/hardening checks, while the rkvdec out-of-bounds write corrupts the DMA table handed to the decoder; either yields a kernel oops or wedged hardware, repeatable at will from an unprivileged process."
