A 63x64 box with pitch 256 deterministically reaches the corrupting partial-copy loop without a race or attacker-uncontrolled condition.\nPR:L - VMW_CREATE_SURFACE, VMW_ALLOC_DMABUF, and VMW_EXECBUF are DRM_RENDER_ALLOW on a DRIVER_RENDER device; drm_ioctl_permit() therefore requires no DRM master, authentication, or capability from an unprivileged render-node client.\nUI:N - The attacker creates the surface and BO and submits the malformed DMA command through their own file descriptor; no victim must mount, open, or display anything.\nS:U - vmw_kms_cursor_snoop() corrupts the guest kernel's own cursor-snooper allocation from guest userspace. The code demonstrates neither host-memory corruption nor a guest-to-host or IOMMU-boundary escape.\nC:H - The unchecked pitch causes out-of-bounds source reads, while the attacker-controlled heap overwrite can corrupt neighboring pointer-bearing objects and be developed into arbitrary guest-kernel read primitives.\nI:H - snooper.image is a u32 pointer, but the vulnerable loop uses the 256-byte image_pitch as an element stride; a 63x64 copy writes controlled 252-byte rows at 1024-byte intervals far beyond the 16-KiB allocation, enabling control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - An excessive pitch can fault while reading beyond the TTM mapping, and the partial-copy destination bug can overwrite roughly 48 KiB beyond the snooper image, causing an oops or kernel panic."}]}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_cursor_plane.c"],"versions":[{"version":"2ac863719e518ae1a8f328849e64ea26a222f079","lessThan":"073437615a8da528935146ca6a17292c0ca8ce19","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"2ac863719e518ae1a8f328849e64ea26a222f079","lessThan":"f54b41644744f72c86e44a21733ac6fc910ca133","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"2ac863719e518ae1a8f328849e64ea26a222f079","lessThan":"cbf7616464334b217ed07b8adacaed549f2a9433","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"2ac863719e518ae1a8f328849e64ea26a222f079","lessThan":"db6fbc2b77849e3c3c2bc115ea9ac925c4625a0d","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"2ac863719e518ae1a8f328849e64ea26a222f079","lessThan":"f6d9c8abdf06a9c7efa799532d66ed8d5a50734c","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"2ac863719e518ae1a8f328849e64ea26a222f079","lessThan":"76e5ddd7d9822c8c3492e0f50ba8978e093069ad","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"2ac863719e518ae1a8f328849e64ea26a222f079","lessThan":"fcb137f6e7ed769f7ecad84364a33c451371b602","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"2ac863719e518ae1a8f328849e64ea26a222f079","lessThan":"21bc51cb89ced74d6645a138cc2f21184bc75094","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_cursor_plane.c"],"versions":[{"version":"3.2","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"3.2","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.10.273","lessThanOrEqual":"5.10.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.15.224","lessThanOrEqual":"5.15.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.191","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.160","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.114","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.57","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2.11","lessThanOrEqual":"7.2.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.3","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.2","versionEndExcluding":"5.10.273"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.2","versionEndExcluding":"5.15.224"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.2","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.191"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.2","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.160"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.2","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.114"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.2","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.57"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.2","versionEndExcluding":"7.2.11"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.2","versionEndExcluding":"7.3"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/073437615a8da528935146ca6a17292c0ca8ce19"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f54b41644744f72c86e44a21733ac6fc910ca133"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cbf7616464334b217ed07b8adacaed549f2a9433"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/db6fbc2b77849e3c3c2bc115ea9ac925c4625a0d"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f6d9c8abdf06a9c7efa799532d66ed8d5a50734c"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/76e5ddd7d9822c8c3492e0f50ba8978e093069ad"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fcb137f6e7ed769f7ecad84364a33c451371b602"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/21bc51cb89ced74d6645a138cc2f21184bc75094"}],"title":"drm/vmwgfx: validate pitch coming from userspace","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
