> [Suggested description]
> The vmw_gb_surface_define_ioctl function in
> drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c in the Linux kernel through
> 4.10.7 does not validate certain levels data, which allows local users
> to cause a denial of service (system hang) via a crafted ioctl call
> for a /dev/dri/renderD* device.

> [Additional Information]
> It was found that in the Linux kernel in vmw_gb_surface_define_ioctl()
> function in 'drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c' file, a
> 'req->mip_levels' is a user-controlled value which is later used as a
> loop count limit. This allows local unprivileged user to cause a
> denial of service by a kernel lockup via a crafted ioctl call for a
> /dev/dri/renderD* device.
