Title: kernel de Linux
Description: En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: drm/vmwgfx: corrige una posible desreferencia del puntero nulo con contextos no válidos. vmw_context_cotable puede devolver un error o un puntero nulo y, en ocasiones, su uso no se controlaba. El código posterior intentaría acceder a un puntero nulo o a un valor de error. Las desreferencias no válidas solo fueron posibles con aplicaciones de espacio de usuario con formato incorrecto que nunca inicializaron correctamente los contextos de representación. Verifique los resultados de vmw_context_cotable para corregir los derefs no válidos. Gracias: ziming zhang (@ezrak1e) de Ant Group Light-Year Security Lab, quien fue la primera persona en descubrirlo. Niels De Graef, quien lo informó y ayudó a localizar al poc.

Action Type Old Value New Value
Changed Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/vmwgfx: Fix possible null pointer derefence with invalid contexts

vmw_context_cotable can return either an error or a null pointer and its
usage sometimes went unchecked. Subsequent code would then try to access
either a null pointer or an error value.

The invalid dereferences were only possible with malformed userspace
apps which never properly initialized the rendering contexts.

Check the results of vmw_context_cotable to fix the invalid derefs.
