The vulnerability of the Intel i915 graphics driver of Intel microcomputer software allows a hacker to alter the entries in the memory page table by manipulating MMIO (Memory-Mapped Input Output) operations, thereby increasing their privileges.

The vulnerability of the Intel i915 graphics driver in Intel microprogrammed software processors is related to the lack of security checks in the copy-to-memory instructions for bit arrays. Exploiting this vulnerability allows an attacker to alter memory page tables by manipulating MMIO...
