Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-74454)
CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write
CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a local user to corrupt memory and cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds write in vc4_overflow_mem_work() when handling a binner out-of-memory event. A local user can trigger a GPU job overflow to corrupt memory and cause a denial of service.
The issue arises because the GPU is authorized to DMA beyond the intended 512KB overflow slot, potentially overwriting in-flight job data and unrelated CMA memory.
Remediation
Install update from vendor's website.
