CVE-2023-25511

Local process crash via division by zero

Published Apr 22, 2023 · Updated Feb 4, 2025

Divide-by-zero in cuobjdump in NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit before 12.1 Update 1 allows local users to crash the tool through crafted input. NVIDIA identifies the erroneous division but does not disclose the parsing routine or input field that supplies the zero divisor. A user must invoke the local utility; successful exploitation interrupts only the affected tool process.
