CVE-2023-22998 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel before 6.0.3, drivers/gpu/drm/virtio/virtgpu_object.c misinterprets the drm_gem_shmem_get_sg_table return value (expects it to be NULL in the error case, whereas it is actually an error pointer).. EPSS estimates a 0.30% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
