CVE-2026-97579

Status: ReceivedHigh (7.8)—

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

media: mediatek: vcodec: bound AV1 tile-start copy to the array capacity

vdec_av1_slice_setup_tile() copies tile_cols + 1 / tile_rows + 1 entries into mi_col_starts[] / mi_row_starts[] from the bitstream tile_info. Bound the copy to the array capacity.

CVSS

Version: 3.1
Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Base score: 7.8

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.16%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 5
Score date: 10/4/2026

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
