drm/vmwgfx: use check_add_overflow for shader size+offset bound

Published Sep 4, 2026 · corrected/updated Oct 15, 2026 · evidence confidence high

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 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.

Grounded briefings

Catalog interpretations for three audiences. Each brief cites ingested metadata and the original advisories below. They are not independent research and they do not invent exploit steps.

Executive

CVE-2026-80887 is a unknown public vulnerability record for this product. It is not currently listed in the CISA Known Exploited catalog. Check the linked vendor or CERT advisories for patch status. This summary is a catalog interpretation of the ingested metadata and cites the original advisories below.

System administrator

Identify whether this product is in your estate, then compare installed versions with the affected ranges. Affected packages or ranges on record: Kernel (6.4.0 → 6.6.151). Check the linked vendor or CERT advisories for patch status. Prefer the vendor or distribution advisory linked in Sources before changing production systems. This is a catalog interpretation, not a runbook.

Security analyst

Signals on file: EPSS 0.2%. It is not currently listed in the CISA Known Exploited catalog. Sources contributing to this record: cve_org, epss, osv. Public exploit references, when present, are outbound links only and are not proof of active exploitation. This is a catalog interpretation of stored metadata.
