It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-46943 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-46943/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-46943/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-46943","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-46943/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-46943","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2021-46943","GHSA-p45j-q5hm-cc64","UBUNTU-CVE-2021-46943"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A flaw in the Intel IPU3 media driver allows a local attacker to trigger a system crash by causing excessive memory allocation during format setting errors.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-131","name":"Incorrect Calculation of Buffer Size"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nmedia: staging/intel-ipu3: Fix set_fmt error handling\n\nIf there in an error during a set_fmt, do not overwrite the previous\nsizes with the invalid config.\n\nWithout this patch, v4l2-compliance ends up allocating 4GiB of RAM and\ncausing the following OOPs\n\n[   38.662975] ipu3-imgu 0000:00:05.0: swiotlb buffer is full (sz: 4096 bytes)\n[   38.662980] DMA: Out of SW-IOMMU space for 4096 bytes at device 0000:00:05.0\n[   38.663010] general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"media: staging/intel-ipu3: Fix set_fmt error handling","id":"CVE-2021-46943","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"media: staging/intel-ipu3: Fix memory leak in imu_fmt","id":"CVE-2021-46944"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"io_uring: fix shared sqpoll cancellation hangs","id":"CVE-2021-46942"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2024-02-27","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2026-53266","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2026-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2013-6282","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-11-19"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2022-0185","kev_date_added":"2024-08-21","published":"2022-02-11"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2013-2094","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-05-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Unspecified","id":"CVE-2026-53362","kev_date_added":"2026-08-27","published":"2026-07-04"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Missing Initialization of a Variable","id":"CVE-2026-46300","kev_date_added":"2026-10-28","published":"2026-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Race Condition","id":"CVE-2025-39964","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-10-13"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-11","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A flaw in the Intel IPU3 media driver allows a local attacker to trigger a system crash by causing excessive memory allocation during format setting errors.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-46943/"}
