On Rockchip, Allwinner and Hantro devices that node is granted to unprivileged video-group or Android media-client users, not init-namespace root.\nUI:N - The attacking process opens the HEVC decoder itself, issues VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS with the crafted V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_HEVC_PPS, then QBUF/STREAMON via the request API.
