Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
drm/vmwgfx: Disable coherent dumb buffers without 3d<br />
<br />
Coherent surfaces make only sense if the host renders to them using<br />
accelerated apis. Without 3d the entire content of dumb buffers stays<br />
in the guest making all of the extra work they&#39;re doing to synchronize<br />
between guest and host useless.<br />
<br />
Configurations without 3d also tend to run with very low graphics<br />
memory limits. The pinned console fb, mob cursors and graphical login<br />
manager tend to run out of 16MB graphics memory that those guests use.<br />
<br />
Fix it by making sure the coherent dumb buffers are only used on<br />
configs with 3d enabled.
