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-2026-89873 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux. 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-2026-89873/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-89873/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-89873","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-89873/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-89873","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2026-89873","GHSA-p727-h8jp-cv82","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-89873"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel media","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can cause a denial of service in the Linux kernel by providing invalid HEVC SPS RPS counts that bypass validation checks.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"integer_overflow"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nmedia: v4l2-ctrls: validate HEVC EXT SPS RPS counts\n\nThe HEVC SPS control carries the short-term and long-term RPS counts\nthat decoder drivers use to walk the matching EXT SPS dynamic arrays.\nReject SPS values that exceed the HEVC limits of 64 short-term sets and\n32 long-term references so drivers cannot later index beyond those\ncontrols.\n\nAlso reject EXT SPS ST RPS entries whose negative or positive picture\ncounts exceed the 16-entry arrays, or whose combined delta-POC count\nexceeds the HEVC DPB maximum.","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: v4l2-ctrls: validate HEVC EXT SPS RPS counts","id":"CVE-2026-89873","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"integer_overflow","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"media: v4l2-async: avoid deleting unlinked ASC entry on link error","id":"CVE-2026-89874"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"media: v4l2-fwnode: Fix fwnode leak in v4l2_fwnode_parse_link","id":"CVE-2026-89872"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-09-16","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-19","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"An attacker can cause a denial of service in the Linux kernel by providing invalid HEVC SPS RPS counts that bypass validation checks.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-89873/"}
