Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: cx231xx: reject geometry changes while the VBI queue is busy
vidioc_s_fmt_vid_cap() and vidioc_s_std() change the device-wide
dev->width / dev->norm but only refuse the change when the *video* queue
(dev->vidq) is busy. The VBI queue (dev->vbiq) shares that same geometry:
cx231xx_init_vbi_isoc() latches dma_q->lines_per_field from dev->norm,
the VBI videobuf2 plane is sized from dev->width / dev->norm in
vbi_queue_setup() and vbi_buf_prepare(), and cx231xx_do_vbi_copy() then
recomputes the destination offset from the *live* dev->width and the
latched lines_per_field on every URB completion:
offset = lines_completed * (dev->width << 1) + ...;
if (dma_q->current_field == 2)
offset += dev->width * 2 * dma_q->lines_per_field;
memcpy(plane + offset, p_buffer, lencopy);
Because the VBI node shares video_ioctl_ops with the video node, an
application can size a small VBI plane (REQBUFS/QBUF with a small width,
