Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
media: cedrus: skip invalid H.264 reference list entries<br />
<br />
Cedrus consumes H.264 ref_pic_list0/ref_pic_list1 entries from the<br />
stateless slice control and later uses their indices to look up<br />
decode->dpb[] in _cedrus_write_ref_list().<br />
<br />
Rejecting such controls in cedrus_try_ctrl() would break existing<br />
userspace, since stateless H.264 reference lists may legitimately carry<br />
out-of-range indices for missing references. Instead, guard the actual<br />
DPB lookup in Cedrus and skip entries whose indices do not fit the fixed<br />
V4L2_H264_NUM_DPB_ENTRIES array.<br />
<br />
This keeps the fix local to the driver use site and avoids out-of-bounds<br />
reads from malformed or unsupported reference list entries.
