Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel up to 3.8.3 (Operating System). It has been rated as very critical. This issue affects an unknown functionality of the file drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_execbuffer.c of the component i915 DRM Driver. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a numeric error vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-189. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Integer overflow in drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_execbuffer.c in the i915 driver in the Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.8.3, as used in Google Chrome OS before 25.0.1364.173 and other products, allows local users to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted application that triggers many relocation copies, and potentially leads to a race condition.

The weakness was shared 03/14/2013 by Kees Cook (Website). The advisory is shared at lkml.org. The public release happened without involvement of Linux. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2013-0913 since 01/07/2013. The exploitation is known to be easy. An attack has to be approached locally.
