Last modified
CVE-2018-20669 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. An issue where a provided address with access_ok() is not checked was discovered in i915_gem_execbuffer2_ioctl in drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_execbuffer.c in the Linux kernel through 4.19.13. A local attacker can craft a malicious IOCTL function call to overwrite arbitrary kernel memory, resulting in a Denial of Service or privilege escalation.. EPSS estimates a 0.57% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
