Official description
Software installed and run as a non-privileged user may conduct improper GPU system calls to pass invalid log2 page size when allocating physical pages leading to OOB read and/or write due to improper validation of the said value. Such crafted log2 page size could lead to 4K pages being treated as higher order pages and allowing read and/or write access to the memory beyond 4K threshold.

The underlying weakness: Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input
The product receives input that is expected to specify a quantity (such as size or length), but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the quantity has the required properties.
