A flaw was found in the Intel graphics hardware (GPU), where a local attacker with the ability to issue commands to the GPU could inadvertently lead to memory corruption and possible privilege escalation. The attacker could use the GPU blitter to perform privilege MMIO operations, not limited to the address space required to function correctly.
Mitigation
Preventing loading of the i915 kernel module will prevent attackers from using this exploit against the system however the power management functionality of the card will be disabled and the system may draw additional power. See this KCS article( <https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278> ) for instructions on how to disable a kernel module. Graphical displays may also be at low resolution or not work correctly. This mitigation may not be suitable if running graphical tools locally is required.
