In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vmwgfx: bound DMA command body size against suffix pointer
vmw_cmd_dma() locates the DMA suffix at
without checking that header->size is large enough to contain both
cmd->body and the suffix. An undersized header makes the suffix
pointer underflow back into the previous command in the bounce
buffer. The verifier later writes suffix->maximumOffset, clobbering
verified fields of an already-relocated earlier command -- a TOCTOU
on the device-visible command stream that lets one command rewrite
another's GMR id, surface id, or other authenticated fields.
Reject the command if the body is too small for the suffix to fit.
