Severity ?
7.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: mediatek: vcodec: adding lock to protect encoder context list Add a lock for the ctx_list, to avoid accessing a NULL pointer within the 'vpu_enc_ipi_handler' function when the ctx_list has been deleted due to an unexpected behavior on the SCP IP block.

no network or physical access is involved.\\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race \\u2014 one thread issues encode operations generating asynchronous SCP IPI callbacks while another thread repeatedly opens/closes encoder contexts to free the ctx mid-traversal; the handler runs in IRQ/workqueue context and can preempt the releasing task, and the window covers the whole unlocked list walk.\\nPR:L - Requires only an unprivileged local process with access to the encoder video device node, which on Android and ChromeOS MediaTek devices is granted to ordinary media/codec HAL and sandboxed video processes; no CAP_SYS_ADMIN or root is needed.\\nUI:N - The attacker\u0027s own processes perform every step \\u2014 open, encode, and close \\u2014 with no action required from any other user.\\nS:U - The corruption and its consequences are confined to the kernel\u0027s own security authority; there is no crossing of a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary.\\nC:H - The unlocked traversal dereferences a freed mtk_vcodec_enc_ctx, and reclaiming that slab object lets the attacker control list.next, turning the walk into a controlled kernel-memory read oracle (comparing ctx-\u003evpu_inst at attacker-chosen addresses) capable of disclosing arbitrary kernel data.\\nI:H - vpu_enc_check_ap_inst() is the validation gate for the firmware-supplied venc_inst pointer; a spurious true from the use-after-free lets handle_enc_init_msg() and the error path write vpu-\u003einst_addr/vpu-\u003evsi/vpu-\u003efailure/vpu-\u003esignaled through an unvalidated pointer, and heap-spray reclamation of the freed ctx provides a write primitive usable for control-flow hijacking.\\nA:H - The use-after-free reliably produces a NULL/wild pointer dereference and kernel oops \\u2014 an actual panic backtrace in vpu_dec_ipi_handler on a shipping MT8183 Chromebook is documented for the identical decoder-side bug \\u2014 and following a corrupted list.next can also hang the CPU in IRQ context.\"}]}], \"affected\": [{\"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"product\": \"Linux\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"1972e32431ed14682909ad568c6fd660572ae6ab\", \"lessThan\": \"41671f0c0182b2bae74ca7e3b0f155559e3e2fc5\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"1972e32431ed14682909ad568c6fd660572ae6ab\", \"lessThan\": \"51c84a8aac6e3b59af2b0e92ba63cabe2e641a2d\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"1972e32431ed14682909ad568c6fd660572ae6ab\", \"lessThan\": \"afaaf3a0f647a24a7bf6a2145d8ade37baaf75ad\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}], \"programFiles\": [\"drivers/media/platform/mediatek/vcodec/common/mtk_vcodec_fw_vpu.c\", \"drivers/media/platform/mediatek/vcodec/encoder/mtk_vcodec_enc_drv.c\", \"drivers/media/platform/mediatek/vcodec/encoder/mtk_vcodec_enc_drv.h\", \"drivers/media/platform/mediatek/vcodec/encoder/venc_vpu_if.c\"], \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\"}, {\"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"product\": \"Linux\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"6.6\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"0\", \"lessThan\": \"6.6\", \"versionType\": \"semver\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.6.27\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.6.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.8.6\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.8.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.9\", \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\"}], \"programFiles\": [\"drivers/media/platform/mediatek/vcodec/common/mtk_vcodec_fw_vpu.c\", \"drivers/media/platform/mediatek/vcodec/encoder/mtk_vcodec_enc_drv.c\", \"drivers/media/platform/mediatek/vcodec/encoder/mtk_vcodec_enc_drv.h\", \"drivers/media/platform/mediatek/vcodec/encoder/venc_vpu_if.c\"], \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\"}], \"references\": [{\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/41671f0c0182b2bae74ca7e3b0f155559e3e2fc5\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/51c84a8aac6e3b59af2b0e92ba63cabe2e641a2d\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/afaaf3a0f647a24a7bf6a2145d8ade37baaf75ad\"}], \"x_generator\": {\"engine\": \"bippy-1.2.0\"}, \"descriptions\": [{\"lang\": \"en\", \"value\": \"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\\n\\nmedia: mediatek: vcodec: adding lock to protect encoder context list\\n\\nAdd a lock for the ctx_list, to avoid accessing a NULL pointer\\nwithin the \u0027vpu_enc_ipi_handler\u0027 function when the ctx_list has\\nbeen deleted due to an unexpected behavior on the SCP IP block.\"}], \"cpeApplicability\": [{\"nodes\": [{\"negate\": false, \"cpeMatch\": [{\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"6.6.27\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.6\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"6.8.6\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.6\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"6.9\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.6\"}], \"operator\": \"OR\"}]}], \"providerMetadata\": {\"orgId\": \"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\", \"shortName\": \"Linux\", \"dateUpdated\": \"2026-08-05T11:30:58.513Z\"}}}",
