CVE-2026-49744

Kernel software installed and running inside a Guest VM may post improper commands to the GPU Firmware to trigger a write of data outside the Guest's virtualised GPU memory. Out of bounds accesses triggered by malware introduced to a Guest KMD could allow privilege escalation which escapes virtualization boundaries.

Summary		(es) El software del kernel instalado y en ejecución dentro de una VM invitada puede enviar comandos incorrectos al firmware de la GPU para desencadenar una escritura de datos fuera de la memoria GPU virtualizada de la invitada. Los accesos fuera de límites desencadenados por malware introducido en un KMD invitado podrían permitir la escalada de privilegios que escapa los límites de la virtualización.
