CVE-2023-33951 is an improper resource-locking race condition in the Linux kernel VMware SVGA graphics driver (vmwgfx). The flaw occurs during handling of GEM objects, where operations on an object are performed without sufficient locking synchronization. A local attacker with high privileges can race these operations and disclose information from kernel context.
