CVE-2023-31028

Service interruption via improperly validated image input

Published Apr 5, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Improper input validation in NVIDIA nvJPEG2000 before 0.7.x allows local users to interrupt service via a crafted JPEG 2000 file. The library improperly validates attacker-controlled image input before processing it; NVIDIA has not disclosed the affected function or exact validation error. Exploitation requires low-privileged local access and user interaction, and the reported consequence is a partial service interruption without data disclosure or modification.
