Loading vulnerability…
A double-free vulnerability exists in the vmwgfx driver of the Linux kernel, specifically in the handling of vmw_buffer_object objects. The vulnerability arises from the lack of validation before freeing an object, allowing the same object to be freed multiple times. This can be exploited by a local privileged user to manipulate kernel memory.
