Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-89894)

CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write

CVSSv4: 8.5 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a heap-based out-of-bounds write.

The vulnerability exists due to a heap-based buffer overflow in cx231xx VBI buffer handling in cx231xx_do_vbi_copy() when changing video geometry while a VBI stream is running. A local user can allocate a small VBI buffer and change the video width or standard to write past the allocated buffer.

Exploitation requires the device to deliver a field-2 VBI payload.
