Unspecified impact via incorrect H.264 DPB sizing
Published Sep 4, 2026 · Updated Sep 4, 2026
Incorrect buffer sizing in the Linux kernel AMDGPU UVD path allows attackers to trigger an unspecified impact via H.264 decode messages. The amdgpu_uvd_cs_msg_decode path derives the decoded-picture-buffer minimum from the H.264 level maximum instead of the actual reference count supplied in the decode message. Reachability requires a system using the AMDGPU UVD H.264 decode path; the Linux CVE team has not published a concrete confidentiality, integrity, or availability consequence.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
