Local GPU hang via insecure MIG initialization
Published May 26, 2026 · Updated May 26, 2026
Denial of service in NVIDIA GPU Display Driver and Virtual GPU Manager allows local users to hang GPU services during MIG reconfiguration. The MIG partition manager initializes memory-subsystem routing resources to insecure defaults before it applies a new partition layout. Exploitation requires low-privileged local access to a MIG reconfiguration path; the bounded reported consequence is a GPU service hang.

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 driver versions prior to 535.309.01
- Affected versionversion=All driver versions prior to 580.159.03
