CVE-2026-89724: media: vicodec: fix out-of-bounds write in FWHT encoder
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: vicodec: fix out-of-bounds write in FWHT encoder
vidioc_s_fmt_vid_out() sizes the encoder CAPTURE buffer from the
compressed descriptor pixfmt_fwht, whose sizeimage_mult is 3:
coded_w * coded_h * 3 + sizeof(struct fwht_cframe_hdr). fwht_encode_frame()
encodes one plane per component, and an incompressible plane takes the
FWHT_FRAME_UNENCODED path in encode_plane(), copying the plane verbatim.
For a 4-component pixel format all four planes are full resolution
(width_div == height_div == 1), so a frame that forces every plane
through the unencoded fallback writes
sizeof(struct fwht_cframe_hdr) + 4 * coded_w * coded_h bytes, overrunning
the plane by coded_w * coded_h, which can result in corruption
of adjacent kernel heap memory.
Bump pixfmt_fwht.sizeimage_mult from 3 to 4, matching the largest
components_num among the supported raw formats, so the capture buffer is
always large enough for the unencoded fallback.
