Linux Kernel i915 Driver 'drivers/char/drm/i915_dma.c' Memory Corruption Vulnerability

The Linux kernel is prone to a memory-corruption vulnerability because of insufficient boundary checks in the i915 driver.

Local attackers could exploit this issue to cause denial-of-service conditions, bypass certain security restrictions, and potentially access sensitive information or gain elevated privileges.

This issue affects Linux kernel 2.6.24.6 and prior versions.
