CWE-399  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable virglrenderer to version 0.6.0-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream virglrenderer package and not the virglrenderer package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

Memory leak in the vrend_renderer_context_create_internal function in vrend_decode.c in virglrenderer before 0.6.0 allows local guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host memory consumption) by repeatedly creating a decode context.
