Local GPU hang via command-queue overwrite
Published Feb 27, 2025 · Updated May 11, 2026
Improper buffer management in Linux kernel 6.7 through 6.12.13 and 6.13 through 6.13.2 allows local users to hang the NVIDIA GSP. The r535_gsp_cmdq_push() path treats the entire region from the write pointer to the buffer end as free before wraparound, then copies too much data and overwrites an RPC that the GSP is reading. Exploitation requires low-privileged local access and an NVIDIA GPU using Nouveau GSP firmware; corruption hangs the GPU system processor without reported data disclosure or modification.
