CVE-2022-38096: There is a NULL pointer vulnerability in vmwgfx driver
First published: Tue Sep 06 2022(Updated: )
A NULL pointer dereference issue was found in the Linux kernel's vmwgfx driver in vmw_cmd_dx_define_query. Systems making use of the vmwgfx driver are potentially affected by this flaw. Exploiting the bug would require an attacker to have access to either /dev/dri/card0 or /dev/dri/rendererD128 and be able to issue an ioctl() on the resulting file descriptor. Under certain circumstances a local unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the system, causing a denial of service.
