RaTasha Tillery-Smith 2023-06-28 15:11:36 UTC Doc Text A double free vulnerability was found in the vmwgfx driver in the Linux kernel. The specific flaw exists within the handling of vmw_buffer_object objects. The issue results from the lack of validating the existence of an object prior to performing further free operations on the object. A local privileged user could potentially leverage this flaw to escalate privileges and execute code in the context of the kernel.
