Local denial of service via memory-ordering race
Published May 26, 2026 · Updated May 26, 2026
Race condition in NVIDIA Display Driver for Linux R535, R580, and R595 allows local users to cause denial of service in affected releases. The kernel module fails to enforce the required ordering of shared-memory operations, allowing compiler or processor reordering to trigger the race. Exploitation requires low local privileges and a high-complexity race; the reported consequence is denial of service, with no data exposure or modification.

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
