Impact

The vulnerability in NVIDIA Virtual GPU Manager lies in the GPU System Processor (GSP) plugin where a guest virtual machine can send a crafted RPC message that triggers an out‑of‑bounds write. This flaw can lead to code execution, privilege escalation, data tampering, denial of service, and information disclosure if successfully exploited.

Affected Systems

The affected product is NVIDIA Virtual GPU Manager. All versions of the manager are listed by the CNA as vulnerable, but no specific version range is provided. The issue originates in the GSP plugin used by NVIDIA’s virtual GPU infrastructure.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.8 marks it as high severity. EPSS data is not available, so the exploit probability could not be quantified, and the vulnerability is not in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is from a guest VM user who can inject the malicious RPC; therefore, access control to the hypervisor’s RPC interface is critical. The potential impact includes local privilege escalation to the host or other virtual machines, matching the impact described in the official report.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest NVIDIA Virtual GPU Manager patch once it becomes available via the vendor or through the product security advisory repository.
  • Restrict guest VM users to the least privileges required to run their workloads and disable or quarantine the GSP plugin if it is not essential for the VM’s operation.
  • Continuously monitor hypervisor logs for abnormal RPC traffic or out‑of‑bounds write attempts and enforce network segmentation to isolate vulnerable VMs from critical host services.
