Detailed vulnerability description

The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of zero-valued workgroup counts in v3d compute shader dispatch handling when processing an indirect CSD job. A local user can submit a crafted indirect CSD job with a zeroed workgroup dimension to cause a denial of service.

A zero value in any workgroup dimension is interpreted by the hardware as 65536 instead of a no-op.
