[PATCH v2 07/11] staging: media: cedrus: validate VP8 frame size

From: Jernej Skrabec

Date: Mon Nov 09 2026 - 12:55:39 EST


A VP8 key frame can change the frame size. If userspace doesn't
reallocate the capture buffers, the hardware writes and reads past the
buffers, which shows up as IOMMU page faults and decode timeouts.

Like for the H.264 and HEVC SPS, reject frames beyond the hardware
limits in try_ctrl, and fail the job in the setup callback if the frame
doesn't fit the buffers. The VP8 frame size register holds the size in
8-bit macroblock counts, so VP8 frames are limited to 4080 pixels in
width.

Fixes: 3c39a16d30d8 ("media: cedrus: Add support for VP8 decoding")
