CVE-2017-6209 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Stack-based buffer overflow in the parse_identifier function in tgsi_text.c in the TGSI auxiliary module in the Gallium driver in virglrenderer before 0.6.0 allows local guest OS users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access and QEMU process crash) via vectors related to parsing properties.. EPSS estimates a 0.39% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
