In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: v4l2-ctrls: validate AV1 tile counts
The stateless AV1 decoders use tile_info.tile_cols and tile_rows as loop
bounds and as indices into the mi_*_starts[] and *_in_sbs_minus_1[]
arrays, as the divisor for context_update_tile_id, and their product
bounds the per-tile descriptor buffers, but std_validate_compound() does
not bound these u8 fields. Reject a V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_AV1_FRAME whose
tile_cols or tile_rows exceeds V4L2_AV1_MAX_TILE_COLS / _ROWS, or whose
product exceeds V4L2_AV1_MAX_TILE_COUNT. A zero tile count is left to the
consuming driver so the zero-initialised control that existing userspace
submits is still accepted.
