A NULL pointer dereference in vrend_renderer.c in virglrenderer through 0.8.1 allows attackers to cause a denial of service via commands that attempt to launch a grid without previously providing a Compute Shader (CS).

Weakness

A NULL pointer dereference occurs when the application dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid, but is NULL, typically causing a crash or exit.
