The NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Linux contains a flaw in the kernel mode layer where an unprivileged local user can trigger improper release of memory resources. This mismanagement can leave a mapping accessible after the underlying memory is reused, potentially enabling arbitrary code execution, denial of service, privilege escalation, information disclosure, and tampering of data, compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Affected systems include NVIDIA GPUs on Linux that use the GeForce, Guest Driver, RTX, Quadro, NVS, and Tesla product lines. No specific driver versions are listed in the CNA data, so administrators should identify the installed driver revision and apply updates accordingly.

The CVSS score of 7.8 denotes high severity. No EPSS score is available, so the current exploitation probability cannot be quantified, and the vulnerability is not referenced in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack scenario involves an unprivileged local user exploiting the kernel mode vulnerability to cause improper memory release, potentially executing code or escalating privileges on the host.
