CVE-2020-5964

Code execution via skipped resource integrity check

Published Jun 25, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Insufficient resource-integrity verification in NVIDIA GPU Display Driver allows local users to execute code, crash the system, or read data. The Windows service host component can skip the application-resource integrity check, allowing altered resources to be accepted without validation. Exploitation requires high local privileges and user interaction; successful attacks can compromise data or interrupt the system.
