Subject: [patch] vmwgfx: corruption in vmw_event_fence_action_create()
Date: Sun, 23 Sep 2012 16:33:55 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120923163355.GC21396@elgon.mountain> (raw)

We don't allocate enough data for this struct.  As soon as we start
modifying event->event on the next lines, then we're going beyond the
end of the memory we allocated.
