CVE-2026-24192

Privilege escalation via numeric-conversion heap overflow

Published May 26, 2026 · Updated May 26, 2026

Heap buffer overflow in NVIDIA Display Driver for Linux and Virtual GPU Manager allows local users to elevate privileges. NVIDIA has not disclosed the responsible function, source value, or heap-buffer operation that consumes the incorrectly converted number. Exploitation requires local low-privileged access and can execute code, expose or tamper with data, or interrupt the host.
