Description

A flaw was found in the drm/vmwgfx component of the Linux kernel. This vulnerability arises from insufficient validation of the vmw_surface_metadata::array_size field, which is supplied by userspace. An attacker could exploit this by providing a malformed array_size value, potentially leading to unexpected system behavior or a denial of service (DoS).

Statement

This issue affects VMware vmwgfx virtual GPU guests. vmw_surface_metadata::array_size from userspace was not validated against shader model limits, potentially allowing out-of-bounds access. Systems not using vmwgfx are not affected.
