Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-08-28 08:16 - Updated: 2026-08-29 07:16

Severity

7.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/vmwgfx: fix guest_memory_dirty bitfield clobbered as size Two sites in vmwgfx_resource.c assign boolean literals to res->guest_memory_size, which is an unsigned long allocation-size field; the intended target is the adjacent res->guest_memory_dirty bitfield. After the assignments the field holds 0 or 1 instead of the resource's MOB allocation size: - vmw_resource_release() writes 0 (false), and - vmw_resource_unbind_list() writes 1 (true). Subsequent revalidation paths read guest_memory_size when computing the dirty page range (vmw_bo_dirty_transfer_to_res()) and the buffer allocation size (vmw_resource_buf_alloc()), producing zero-length walks or wrap-around ranges that read or write past the MOB bitmap. The dirty-tracking intent of the original code (mark the resource as dirtied since the last sync) is also lost, since guest_memory_dirty is never updated. Rename both assignments to guest_memory_dirty.

After the assignments the field holds 0 or 1 instead of\nthe resource\u0027s MOB allocation size:\n\n  - vmw_resource_release()       writes 0 (false), and\n  - vmw_resource_unbind_list()   writes 1 (true).\n\nSubsequent revalidation paths read guest_memory_size when computing\nthe dirty page range (vmw_bo_dirty_transfer_to_res()) and the buffer\nallocation size (vmw_resource_buf_alloc()), producing zero-length\nwalks or wrap-around ranges that read or write past the MOB bitmap.\nThe dirty-tracking intent of the original code (mark the resource as\ndirtied since the last sync) is also lost, since guest_memory_dirty\nis never updated.\n\nRename both assignments to guest_memory_dirty."
