Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
drm/vmwgfx: Fix a null-ptr access in the cursor snooper<br />
<br />
Check that the resource which is converted to a surface exists before<br />
trying to use the cursor snooper on it.<br />
<br />
vmw_cmd_res_check allows explicit invalid (SVGA3D_INVALID_ID) identifiers<br />
because some svga commands accept SVGA3D_INVALID_ID to mean "no surface",<br />
unfortunately functions that accept the actual surfaces as objects might<br />
(and in case of the cursor snooper, do not) be able to handle null<br />
objects. Make sure that we validate not only the identifier (via the<br />
vmw_cmd_res_check) but also check that the actual resource exists before<br />
trying to do something with it.<br />
<br />
Fixes unchecked null-ptr reference in the snooping code.
