7.8
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to 5.x
Description
The issue is related to the Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) subsystem in the Linux kernel, which mishandles requests for Graphics Execution Manager (GEM) objects. This allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via an application that processes graphics data. For example, this can be demonstrated by JavaScript code that creates many CANVAS elements for rendering by Chrome or Firefox.
Recommendations
For Linux kernel versions prior to 5.x, update to version 5.x or later to resolve the issue.
Fix
