1) Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-80888)

CWE-ID: CWE-772 - Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime

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


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper resource release in ttm_prime_fd_to_handle() in the vmwgfx DRM driver when importing a non-vmwgfx PRIME file descriptor through the DRM_VMW_GB_SURFACE_REF or DRM_VMW_GB_SURFACE_REF_EXT path. A local user can pass a non-vmwgfx PRIME file descriptor to cause a denial of service.
