CVE-2023-25516

Information disclosure and denial-of-service via integer overflow

Published Jul 3, 2023 · Updated Oct 24, 2024

Integer overflow in the kernel-mode layer of NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Linux allows local users to disclose data or deny service. NVIDIA has not disclosed the affected kernel-mode routine, the attacker-controlled value, or the operation whose arithmetic overflows. A low-privileged local account is required; successful exploitation can expose information or interrupt service, with no reported integrity impact.
