A privilege escalation vulnerability was found in vmwgfx driver
in drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_drv.c in GPU component of Linux
kernel with device file '/dev/dri/renderD128 (or Dxxx)'. This flaw
allows a local attacker with a user account on the system to gain
privilege, causing a denial of service(DoS).
This vulnerability can be quickly verified by the following code
logic:
...
dri_fd = open("/dev/dri/renderD128", O_RDWR);
ret = ioctl(dri_fd, 0xC0186441, &arg);
if (ret == 0) {
printf("[*] VMW_ALLOC_DMABUF Success!\n");
}
...
Submit this commit to fix it.
