hw: Intel GPU blitter manipulation can allow for arbitrary kernel memory write

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 th...

Privilege Escalation

kernel is vulnerable to privilege escalation. A local attacker with the ability to issue commands to the GPU could inadvertently lead to memory corruption and possible privilege escalation due to a flaw in the Intel graphics hardware GPU. The attacker could use the GPU blitter to perform privileg...

hw: Intel GPU Denial Of Service while accessing MMIO in lower power state

A flaw was found in Intel graphics hardware GPU where a local attacker with the ability to issue an ioctl could trigger a hardware level crash if MMIO registers were read while the graphics card was in a low-power state. This creates a denial of service situation and the GPU and connected display...

Fedora 15 : kernel-2.6.38.8-35.fc15 (2011-9130)

Fixes some bugs that were caused by upstream stable kernel updates, including a longstanding bug causing oopses when removing USB storage devices and optical media. Fixes stalls on machines with the latest Intel graphics hardware Sandybridge. Also fixes some important security issues. Note that...
