CVE-2019-14615

Local information disclosure via graphics context reuse

Published Jan 17, 2020 · Updated Aug 5, 2024

Information disclosure in Intel Processor Graphics allows local users to read sensitive data left in execution units after a context switch. The i915 driver submits userspace batch buffers to graphics execution units but fails to clear prior execution-unit data before scheduling another process. Exploitation requires local execution, an affected Intel graphics generation, and user interaction; reported impact is limited to confidentiality.
