[PATCH] media: cedrus: validate H.264 reference list indices
From: Pengpeng Hou
Date: Mon Mar 23 2026 - 22:12:07 EST
Cedrus validates HEVC slice reference lists in cedrus_try_ctrl(), but
the H.264 path still consumes ref_pic_list0/ref_pic_list1 indices
straight from the stateless slice control. Those indices are later
used to index the fixed-size decode_params->dpb[] array in
_cedrus_write_ref_list().
Reject H.264 slice controls whose active reference counts or
reference indices exceed V4L2_H264_NUM_DPB_ENTRIES before the driver
reaches the DPB lookup. This keeps the validation next to the existing
Cedrus stateless control checks and avoids driver-specific
out-of-bounds reads from malformed userspace control payloads.
