Out-of-bounds read in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-74444

Vulnerability identifier: #VU143342

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 6.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-74444

CWE-ID: CWE-125

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a local user to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in vmw_cmd_draw() when processing a user-supplied command stream containing an undersized DRAW_PRIMITIVES header. A local user can supply a crafted command stream to disclose sensitive information.

The issue is triggered when header->size is smaller than the command body size, causing an unsigned subtraction to wrap and a subsequent bounds check to be bypassed.
