In Mesa before 25.3.6 and 26 before 26.0.1, out-of-bounds memory access can occur in WebGPU because the amount of to-be-allocated data depends on an untrusted party, and is then used for alloca.

The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 25.10 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-8427-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Mesa did not properly validate memory allocation sizes in WebGPU under certain     circumstances. An attacker could use this issue to cause Mesa to crash, resulting in a denial of service,     or possibly execute arbitrary code.
