Impact
NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a kernel mode out‑of‑bounds write vulnerability that can be exploited to gain elevated privileges, execute arbitrary code, crash the system, and compromise confidentiality and integrity of data. The flaw allows a malicious actor to overwrite memory outside the bounds of a buffer, potentially enabling full control over the affected system.
Affected Systems
The vulnerability affects NVIDIA GPU Display Driver products including GeForce, RTX, Quadro, NVS, Tesla and Virtual GPU Manager on Windows and Linux platforms. No specific version numbers are supplied, so all currently installed drivers from these families should be treated as potential risk until a patch is released.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 7.8 indicates high severity. EPSS is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog, suggesting no mass exploitation has been observed yet. The attack vector is not explicitly defined; it is likely a local or privileged‑user exploit, though remote execution cannot be ruled out without further details.
