NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux has a flaw in the kernel mode layer that permits an attacker to trigger a divide‑by‑zero operation, which can cause the driver to crash and result in a denial‑of‑service condition. The vulnerability is rooted in a missing guard against a zero divisor, a type of error classified as CWE‑369. Because the driver runs with elevated kernel privileges, the crash can destabilize the entire host system or any other processes relying on the GPU, potentially interrupting graphics, compute, or virtualized workloads.

Affected products include NVIDIA GeForce, RTX, Quadro, NVS, Tesla, and Virtual GPU Manager drivers. No specific version ranges are disclosed in the advisory; users should refer to the linked NVIDIA product‑security page for the list of patched releases.

The CVSS score of 5.5 indicates a moderate severity, underscoring that the issue is not low‑impact but does not constitute a critical threat. EPSS is not available, so the probability of exploitation cannot be quantified; however, the flaw resides in kernel‑mode code, meaning a successful exploit would require local or privileged execution, and the attack vector is inferred as local with elevated privileges. The vulnerability is not present in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting no widely known exploits at the time of this analysis.
