Public bug reported:
Summary: Segmentation fault in libva-wayland.so.2 during vaInitialize on
Intel HD 520 (Skylake) after Mesa 25.2.8 / libdrm 2.4.125 update.
Description: Since the update performed on 2026-01-29, all video-related
applications using VA-API (libva) crash immediately with a Segmentation
Fault when running on a Wayland session.
Hardware:
System: Lenovo IdeaCentre AIO 510S-23ISU
CPU/GPU: Intel Core i5-6200U / Intel HD Graphics 520 (Skylake)
Software & Packages: The issue appeared after upgrading the following
packages:
libdrm2 (from 2.4.122 to 2.4.125)
libgl1-mesa-dri (from 25.0.7 to 25.2.8)
libva2 (1.20.0)
Steps to Reproduce:
Log into a Wayland session (KDE Plasma/Kubuntu 24.04).
Run vainfo in the terminal or launch any application using libmpv/VA-
API.
The process terminates with "Segmentation fault (core dumped)".
Technical Details: The stack trace points to an invalid memory access in
libva-wayland.so.2 during the initialization phase: #0
0x00007c8a66ab9f1f n/a (libva-wayland.so.2 + 0x2f1f) #1
0x00007c8a654a129e vaInitialize (libva.so.2 + 0x429e)
Additional Notes:
The issue does not occur in X11 sessions.
The issue does not occur on hardware with dedicated NVIDIA graphics
using proprietary drivers.
Switching between i965-va-driver and intel-media-va-driver does not
resolve the crash on Wayland.
