Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions vmwgfx driver (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue is related to a local privilege escalation vulnerability in the vmwgfx driver. This vulnerability allows unprivileged users to gain access to files opened by other processes on the system through a dangling 'file' pointer. The vulnerability is also associated with the use of memory after it has been freed, specifically in the vmw execbuf copy fence user() function. This can be exploited by an attacker to elevate their privileges.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
