From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]>

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/vmwgfx: validate DRAW_PRIMITIVES header size before division

vmw_cmd_draw() computes

	maxnum = (header->size - sizeof(cmd->body)) / sizeof(*decl);

where header->size is u32 and is taken straight from the user-supplied
command stream.  When header->size is less than sizeof(cmd->body) the
unsigned subtraction wraps to nearly 4 GiB, producing a huge maxnum.
Any user-controlled cmd->body.numVertexDecls then passes the bound and
the loop dereferences decl[i] far past the end of the kernel command
bounce buffer, producing an out-of-bounds read of kernel memory.

Reject undersized headers up front.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-74444 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
	https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2666cddf0dd218aa9bd1f99db688d1b532eac21a
