CVE-2024-0128

Guest OS privilege escalation via global resource access

Published Oct 26, 2024 · Updated Nov 1, 2024

Incorrect permissions in NVIDIA vGPU software allow guest OS users to access global Virtual GPU Manager resources without authorization. The manager assigns inadequate permissions to an undisclosed critical global resource instead of isolating access to the authorized guest. A user already controlling a guest OS can disclose or alter data and elevate privileges, while the published assessment reports no service interruption.
