CVE-2026-23317 HIGH

Published: 2026-03-25 | Last Modified: 2026-04-23 | Status: Analyzed

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/vmwgfx: Return the correct value in vmw_translate_ptr functions Before the referenced fixes these functions used a lookup function that returned a pointer. This was changed to another lookup function that returned an error code with the pointer becoming an out parameter. The error path when the lookup failed was not changed to reflect this change and the code continued to return the PTR_ERR of the now uninitialized pointer. This could cause the vmw_translate_ptr functions to return success when they actually failed causing further uninitialized and OOB accesses.

En el kernel de Linux, la siguiente vulnerabilidad ha sido resuelta: drm/vmwgfx: Devolver el valor correcto en las funciones vmw_translate_ptr Antes de las correcciones referenciadas, estas funciones utilizaban una función de búsqueda que devolvía un puntero. Esto fue cambiado a otra función de búsqueda que devolvía un código de error con el puntero convirtiéndose en un parámetro de salida. La ruta de error cuando la búsqueda fallaba no fue cambiada para reflejar este cambio y el código continuó devolviendo el PTR_ERR del puntero ahora no inicializado. Esto podría causar que las funciones vmw_translate_ptr devolvieran éxito cuando en realidad fallaron, causando accesos no inicializados y OOB adicionales.
