Impact

A kernel‑mode out‑of‑bounds write exists in NVIDIA Virtual GPU Manager for Windows and Linux. The vulnerability allows a local user to corrupt memory, which can be leveraged for code execution, denial of service, privilege escalation, information disclosure, or data tampering. The impact is confined to the system hosting the vGPU manager, but if successfully exploited it could compromise the entire host environment. The weakness is a classic buffer overflow (CWE‑787).

Affected Systems

The affected products are NVIDIA’s Virtual GPU Manager on both Windows and Linux platforms. No specific version numbers are disclosed, so all revisions of the driver package that include the kernel module are potential targets. Administrators should verify the installed driver and manager version against NVIDIA’s security advisories.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 7.8, indicating high severity. EPSS data is not available, so the likelihood of exploitation is unknown, but the nature of the flaw—an out‑of‑bounds write in kernel mode—suggests a practical exploit path for a privileged user. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but its impact warrants immediate attention. Attackers would need local access to the host running vGPU manager; no remote entry is described, implying exploitation requires privileged or authenticated interaction with the driver. Even so, the potential for system compromise makes the risk significant.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest NVIDIA Virtual GPU Manager update that includes the kernel‑mode patch.
  • If a patch is not yet available, disable or remove the vGPU manager service and associated kernel modules to eliminate the attack surface.
  • Enforce strict access controls, ensuring only trusted administrators can install or update vGPU components, and monitor system logs for anomalous kernel activity.
