CVE-2023-0195

Driver data disclosure via invalid display configuration

Published Apr 1, 2023 · Updated Feb 13, 2025

Improper input validation in NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows allows physically proximate attackers to disclose driver data. The nvlddmkm.sys kernel-mode layer accepts an invalid display configuration without properly validating a specified input quantity, exposing local-variable data from the driver. Exploitation requires physical proximity and a crafted display configuration; published material identifies only disclosure of non-sensitive driver-local data.
