This vulnerability has been fixed in the Linux kernel. The fix is included in the commits identified by the provided fixedVersions hashes. Users should update their Linux kernel to a version including these fixes to mitigate the vulnerability.

Description

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's Verisilicon Hantro media driver related to HEVC tile processing was addressed by bounding the tile loop to the buffer capacity. The issue involved the prepare_tile_info_buffer() function writing entries per tile into a DMA buffer without proper bounds checking, which could lead to buffer overflows.
