In the Linux kernel before 6.0.3, drivers/gpu/drm/virtio/virtgpu_object.c misinterprets the drm_gem_shmem_get_sg_table return value (expects it to be NULL in the error case, whereas it is actually an error pointer).
Statement: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7 are not affected by this flaw as they did not include the `virtio_gpu_object_shmem_init` function, introduced upstream in commit 2f2aa13 ("drm/virtio: move virtio_gpu_mem_entry initialization to new function").

FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information.
