Subject: CVE: kernel: drm/vmwgfx: check that number of mip levels is above
zero in in vmw_surface_define_ioctl()
hello,
CVE-2017-7261 was assigned for the following flaw in [vmwgfx] driver.
> [Suggested description]
> The vmw_surface_define_ioctl function in drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c in the Linux kernel through 4.10.5
> does not check for a zero value of certain levels data, which
> allows local users to cause a denial of service (ZERO_SIZE_PTR dereference, and
> GPF and possibly panic) via a crafted ioctl call for
> a /dev/dri/renderD* device.
>
> ------------------------------------------
>
> [Additional Information]
> In was found that in the Linux kernel in vmw_surface_define_ioctl()
> function in 'drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c' file, a
> 'num_sizes' parameter is assigned a user-controlled value which is not
> checked if it is zero. This is used in a call to kmalloc() and later
> leads to dereferencing ZERO_SIZE_PTR, which in turn leads to a GPF and
> possibly to a kernel panic.
