--- title: "CVE-2017-9605\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-2017-9605?format=md keywords: index, follow --- # CVE-2017-9605 Publication date 13 June 2017 Last updated 4 July 2026 --- Ubuntu priority **Low** [Why this priority?](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#priority ) ## Cvss 3 Severity Score **5.5 · Medium** [Score breakdown](https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2017-9605?format=md#impact-score) Toggle side navigation ## Description The vmw\_gb\_surface\_define\_ioctl function (accessible via DRM\_IOCTL\_VMW\_GB\_SURFACE\_CREATE) in drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx\_surface.c in the Linux kernel through 4.11.4 defines a backup\_handle variable but does not give it an initial value. If one attempts to create a GB surface, with a previously allocated DMA buffer to be used as a backup buffer, the backup\_handle variable does not get written to and is then later returned to user space, allowing local users to obtain sensitive information from uninitialized kernel memory via a crafted ioctl call. ### From the Ubuntu Security Team Murray McAllister discovered that the DRM driver for VMware Virtual GPUs in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize memory. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). ## Status Show unmaintained releases | Package | Ubuntu Release | Status | | --- | --- | --- | | linux-aws-fips | 24.10
