CVE-2023-39198 | BDVDB-2026-216501 Detail
Red HatRed Hat Enterprise Linux 8
Description#
A race condition was found in the QXL driver in the Linux kernel. The qxl_mode_dumb_create() function dereferences the qobj returned by the qxl_gem_object_create_with_handle(), but the handle is the only one holding a reference to it. This flaw allows an attacker to guess the returned handle value and trigger a use-after-free issue, potentially leading to a denial of service or privilege escalation.
Impact#
Per CVSS v3.1: confidentiality impact high, integrity impact high, availability impact high. Attack vector: local.
