Description:
$um$id has discovered a vulnerability in Intel Graphics Accelerator Driver, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

The vulnerability is cause due to an error in the "ialmrnt5" display driver when handing overly long text in a textfield. This can potentially be exploited to cause a DoS e.g. by tricking a user to open a window to an overly long URL with the browser.
