CVE-2026-24196

Memory disclosure and driver interruption via out-of-bounds read

Published May 26, 2026 · Updated May 26, 2026

Out-of-bounds read in NVIDIA Display Driver for Linux allows local users to disclose memory or interrupt GPU driver operation. NVIDIA identifies the faulty operation only as an out-of-bounds read and does not disclose the affected function, interface, or input path. Exploitation requires local low-privilege access; successful use can expose memory contents or make the driver unavailable, with no integrity impact reported.
