CVE-2017-10810
Memory leak in the virtio_gpu_object_create function in drivers/gpu/drm/virtio/virtgpu_object.c in the Linux kernel through 4.11.8 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering object-initialization failures.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.76%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
