## Description

The Intel drivers in Mesa 8.0.x and 9.0.x allow context-dependent attackers
to cause a denial of service (reachable assertion and crash) and possibly
execute arbitrary code via vectors involving 3d graphics that trigger an
out-of-bounds array access, related to the
fs\_visitor::remove\_dead\_constants function. NOTE: this issue might be
related to CVE-2013-0796.
