CVE-2024-0077

Guest code execution via unauthorized resource allocation

Published Mar 27, 2024 · Updated Aug 27, 2024

Improper authorization in NVIDIA Virtual GPU Manager allows guest OS users to allocate unauthorized host resources through the vGPU plugin. The plugin accepts guest resource-allocation requests without enforcing whether the requesting guest is authorized for those resources. Access from a guest VM is required; successful exploitation can execute code, elevate privileges, disclose or modify data, or interrupt the host service.
