Service interruption and tampering via out-of-bounds write
Published Apr 1, 2023 · Updated Feb 13, 2025
Out-of-bounds write in the Linux kernel-mode layer of NVIDIA vGPU Software allows local users to interrupt service and tamper with data. The proprietary layer writes beyond an intended buffer, but NVIDIA has not disclosed the affected handler or the input that reaches it. Local low-privileged access is required; successful exploitation can corrupt data or crash the driver without disclosing data.
