CVE-2022-36280 is an out-of-bounds write in the Linux kernel VMware graphics (vmwgfx) driver. The flaw is in the vmw_kms_cursor_snoop function, where a missing validation of a memcpy length permits memory to be written outside its intended bounds. A local unprivileged user able to interact with an affected DRM device interface can trigger the vulnerable ioctl path.
