CVE-2017-5993  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-399  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade freedesktop/virglrenderer to version 0.6.0 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Resource Management Errors. Memory leak in the vrend_renderer_init_blit_ctx function in vrend_blitter.c in virglrenderer before 0.6.0 allows local guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host memory consumption) via a large number of VIRGL_CCMD_BLIT commands.
