Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Verisilicon Rockchip AV1 video decoder driver. A local attacker can exploit this vulnerability by submitting a specially crafted AV1 video frame that specifies more tiles than provided by userspace or supported by hardware limits. This lack of bounds validation causes the driver to read memory outside allocated boundaries, potentially leading to a denial of service (DoS) via a system crash or kernel information disclosure.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-25 11:04:57 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

media: verisilicon: rockchip: reject AV1 frames exceeding the tile capacity

rockchip_vpu981_av1_dec_set_tile_info() indexes the tile group entry
array by tile1 * tile_cols + tile0, reading up to tile_cols * tile_rows
entries, lays out one descriptor per tile in the AV1_MAX_TILES tile_info
buffer, and programs the real tile_cols / tile_rows into the hardware.

The tile group entry control is a dynamic array sized to the number of
entries userspace submitted, independent of tile_cols / tile_rows, so a
frame that claims more tiles than entries reads past the array. A frame
that claims more than AV1_MAX_TILES tiles also leaves the hardware
programmed for more tiles than the descriptor buffer holds.

Reject both in prepare_run(): tile_cols * tile_rows must not exceed the
submitted entry count or AV1_MAX_TILES. The entry count is read via
v4l2_ctrl_find() (ctrl->elems). This mirrors the bound the mediatek AV1
decoder already enforces.
