NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream Mesa-vulkan-overlay package and not the Mesa-vulkan-overlay package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:16.0.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

In Mesa before 25.3.6 and 26 before 26.0.1, out-of-bounds memory access can occur in WebGPU because the amount of to-be-allocated data depends on an untrusted party, and is then used for alloca.
