Low risk1th percentile - higher than 1% of all known CVEs
Summary
A vulnerability in kernel software running inside a Host VM allows sending improper commands to the GPU firmware, potentially causing memory read or write outside the permitted range. Addresses passed to the GPU firmware can be used to gain more privileged memory access than allowed by the system.
Risk Assessment
The risk involves potential privilege escalation and memory integrity compromise, which could lead to system takeover or sensitive data leakage.
Recommendation
It is recommended to immediately apply security patches provided by the kernel software vendor and update GPU drivers to the latest version.
Other vulnerabilities in GPU Firmware
See all- CVE-2026-45199High
Kernel software running inside a Guest VM may post improper commands to the GPU Firmware to trigger a write of data outside the Guest's virtualised GPU memory. This can result in out of bounds memory accesses and be used to escalate privileges.
- CVE-2026-45198High
Kernel software from a non-secure operating system on a platform with Trusted Execution Environment support may cause GPU Firmware to boot up using data from non-secure memory. The GPU thread of control (Firmware) uses a pointer from non-secure memory belonging to the Rich Execution Environment (REE) when saving or retrieving internal data between the tightly coupled private memory to main memory. An attacker with control over the REE kernel may modify the pointer value, corrupting the data used by the GPU Firmware.
- CVE-2026-45196High
A vulnerability in kernel software running inside a Host VM allows sending improper commands to GPU firmware, leading to unauthorized GPU register access and privilege escalation.
- CVE-2026-34193Medium
Kernel software in a Guest/Host VM may send improper commands to GPU firmware, causing out-of-bounds writes. A logic error in address translation allows a compromised Host (Kernel) to perform arbitrary writes to firmware memory.
Original NVD description (English source)
Kernel software installed and running inside a Host VM may post improper commands to the GPU Firmware to trigger a memory read or write outside the permitted range of memory for the host kernel. Addresses passed to the GPU Firmware can be used by the Firmware for more privileged memory accesses than are permitted by the system.
