NewCVE-2026-80887 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Amazon-Linux:2023 kernel6.18-tools to version 1:6.18.44-99.149.amzn2023 or higher.
This issue was patched in ALAS2023-2026-2106.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel6.18-tools package and not the kernel6.18-tools package as distributed by Amazon-Linux.
See How to fix? for Amazon-Linux:2023 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vmwgfx: use check_add_overflow for shader size+offset bound
vmw_shader_define() validates the user-supplied shader window against its backing buffer with
(u64)buffer->tbo.base.size < (u64)size + (u64)offset
drm_vmw_shader_create_arg::offset is __u64 in the uapi; when it is near U64_MAX the unsigned addition wraps and the resulting tiny value passes the check. The unbounded offset is then stored in res->guest_memory_offset and forwarded to host SVGA shader-create commands.
Use check_add_overflow() to detect the wrap and compare the resulting endpoint against the buffer size.
