## Linux Kernel: Fixed a GPU Memory Management Issue An oversight in the Linux kernel's Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) driver code could lead to excessive memory consumption by unprivileged users. This scenario risked causing the system to crash due to memory exhaustion. The vulnerability has been identified and fixed to prevent potential attacks. The problem resided in the graphics driver's memory management, which did not adequately limit access to kernel resources. ## Implications A successful attack could have caused a denial-of-service, rendering the system unusable. The fix aims to strengthen kernel security and prevent abuse of hardware resources. Modern operating systems, such as Linux, rely on efficient memory management to ensure stability and performance. Vulnerabilities of this type, if exploited, can seriously compromise system integrity.
