OS X Kernel unchecked array index used to read object pointer then call virtual method in nvdia geforce driver

nvDevice::ReleaseDeviceTexture is external method 0x10a of userclient 5 of the geforce IOAccelerator. It takes a single uint argument. This code is reachable from most interesting sandboxes including the safari renderer and the chrome GPU process.

Mitigation:

Ensure that all array indices are properly validated before being used.

nvDevice::ReleaseDeviceTexture is external method 0x10a of userclient 5 of the geforce IOAccelerator.
It takes a single uint argument

__text:000000000001BD22                 call    qword ptr [rax+28h] <-- call OSObject::release

This userclient is part of the nvidia geforce driver so it's only available on devices with that hardware (eg macbookpro.)

This code is reachable from most interesting sandboxes including the safari renderer and the chrome GPU process.
