CVE-2026-23317: drm/vmwgfx: Return the correct value in vmw_translate_ptr functions
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 31/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.13% (FIRST EPSS).
- Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: Linux Linux 149f028772fa2879d9316b924ce948a6a0877e45, 36cb28b6d303a81e6ed4536017090e85e0143e42, 5023ca80f9589295cb60735016e39fc5cc714243; azl3 kernel 6.6.126.1-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.130.1-1.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 149f028772fa2879d9316b924ce948a6a0877e45, 36cb28b6d303a81e6ed4536017090e85e0143e42, 5023ca80f9589295cb60735016e39fc5cc714243; azl3 kernel 6.6.126.1-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.130.1-1 or later.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/vmwgfx: Return the correct value in vmw_translate_ptr functions Before the referenced fixes these functions used a lookup function that returned a pointer. This was changed to another lookup function that returned an error code with the pointer becoming an out parameter. The error path when the lookup failed was not changed to reflect this change and the code continued to return the PTR_ERR of the now uninitialized pointer. This could cause the vmw_translate_ptr functions to return success when they actually failed causing further uninitialized and OOB accesses.
