--- title: "CVE-2011-1016\n | Ubuntu" description: Ubuntu is an open source software operating system that runs from the desktop, to the cloud, to all your internet connected things. url: https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2011-1016?format=md keywords: index, follow --- # CVE-2011-1016 Publication date 28 February 2011 Last updated 24 July 2024 --- Ubuntu priority **Medium** [Why this priority?](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#priority ) Toggle side navigation ## Description The Radeon GPU drivers in the Linux kernel before 2.6.38-rc5 do not properly validate data related to the AA resolve registers, which allows local users to write to arbitrary memory locations associated with (1) Video RAM (aka VRAM) or (2) the Graphics Translation Table (GTT) via crafted values. ### From the Ubuntu Security Team Marek Olšák discovered that the Radeon GPU drivers did not correctly validate certain registers. On systems with specific hardware, a local attacker could exploit this to write to arbitrary video memory. ## Status Show unmaintained releases | Package | Ubuntu Release | Status | | --- | --- | --- | | linux | 11.04 natty | Fixed 2.6.38-6.33 | | 10.10 maverick | Fixed 2.6.35-29.51 | | 10.04 LTS lucid | Fixed 2.6.32-32.62 | | 9.10 karmic | Not affected | | 8.04 LTS hardy | Not affected | | 6.06 LTS dapper | Not in release | | linux-ec2 | 11.04 natty | Not in release | | 10.10 maverick | Ignored end of life | | 10.04 LTS lucid | Fixed 2.6.32-316.30 | | 9.10 karmic | Ignored end of life | | 8.04 LTS hardy | Not in release | | 6.06 LTS dapper | Not in release | | linux-fsl-imx51 | 11.04 natty | Not in release | | 10.10 maverick | Not in release | | 10.04 LTS lucid | Not affected | | 9.10 karmic | Ignored end of life | | 8.04 LTS hardy | Not in release | | 6.06 LTS dapper | Not in release | | linux-lts-backport-maverick | 11.04 natty | Not in release | | 10.10 maverick | Not in release | | 10.04 LTS lucid | Fixed 2.6.35-30.54~lucid1 | | 9.10 karmic | Not in release | | 8.04 LTS hardy | Not in release | | 6.06 LTS dapper | Not in release | | linux-lts-backport-natty | 11.04 natty | Not in release | | 10.10 maverick | Not in release | | 10.04 LTS lucid | Not affected | | 8.04 LTS hardy | Not in release | | linux-mvl-dove | 11.04 natty | Not in release | | 10.10 maverick | Fixed 2.6.32-417.34 | | 10.04 LTS lucid | Fixed 2.6.32-217.34 | | 9.10 karmic | Ignored end of life | | 8.04 LTS hardy | Not in release | | 6.06 LTS dapper | Not in release | | linux-source-2.6.15 | 11.04 natty | Not in release | | 10.10 maverick | Not in release | | 10.04 LTS lucid | Not in release | | 9.10 karmic | Not in release | | 8.04 LTS hardy | Not in release | | 6.06 LTS dapper | Not affected | | linux-ti-omap4 | 11.04 natty | Fixed 2.6.38-1204.5 | | 10.10 maverick | Fixed 2.6.35-903.23 | | 10.04 LTS lucid | Not in release | | 9.10 karmic | Not in release | | 8.04 LTS hardy | Not in release | | 6.06 LTS dapper | Not in release | --- * [How can I get the fixes?](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#security) * [What do statuses mean?](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#statuses) * [Patch details](https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2011-1016?format=md#patch-details) ### Patch details For informational purposes only.
