Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-74443)

CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write

CVSSv4: 6.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to modify authenticated command fields.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds write in vmw_cmd_dma() in the vmwgfx command verifier when processing a dma command with an undersized header body size. A local user can submit a specially crafted command to modify authenticated command fields.

The issue arises from a suffix pointer underflow that can clobber fields in a previously relocated command in the device-visible command stream.
