CVE-2024-0119

Arbitrary memory read via corrupted MOV shader bytecode

Published Oct 26, 2024 · Updated Nov 1, 2024

An out-of-bounds read in NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows 555.99 allows local users to read memory via crafted shader bytecode. The D3D10 user-mode driver derives an nvwgf2umx.dll source address directly from an attacker-controlled MOV operand without enforcing bounds. Processing the shader requires user interaction; the demonstrated result is an invalid-pointer read and process crash.
