Descriptions
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: Using uninitialized value *size when calling amdgpu_vce_cs_reloc Initialize the size before calling amdgpu_vce_cs_reloc, such as case 0x03000001.
V2: To really improve the handling we would actually need to have a separate value of 0xffffffff.(Christian)
A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's amdgpu driver in the amdgpu_vce_ring_parse_cs() function where the size variable is initialized with a pointer that may not be properly set before use. This issue could lead to unpredictable behavior in the system.

Ziming Zhang discovered that the VMware Virtual GPU DRM driver in the Linux kernel contained an integer overflow vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
