Local process interruption via malformed ELF parsing
Published Feb 25, 2025 · Updated Feb 25, 2025
Out-of-bounds read in NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit before 12.8 allows local users to interrupt cuobjdump processing via a malformed ELF file. The cuobjdump binary reads beyond an intended buffer while parsing the file; NVIDIA has not disclosed the affected parser routine or missing bounds check. Execution requires a local cuobjdump invocation and interaction with a crafted ELF file, and the documented consequence is limited to partial denial of service.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=All versions up to CUDA Toolkit 12.8
