HighCVSS 7.8Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk2th percentile - higher than 2% of all known CVEs
Summary
NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows contains a vulnerability in kernel-mode escape handling where an attacker with local access could bypass an authorization check intended to restrict certain operations based on client execution context. A successful exploit might lead to escalation of privilege, information disclosure, data tampering, denial of service, or code execution.
Risk Assessment
The risk includes potential privilege escalation and security bypass, allowing an attacker full control over the Windows system.
Recommendation
Apply NVIDIA patches for the GPU display driver immediately and restrict local access to systems with the vulnerable driver.
Other vulnerabilities in NVIDIA GPU Display Driver
See all- CVE-2017-6272High
The NVIDIA GPU Display Driver contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer handler where a value passed from a user to the driver is not correctly validated and used as the index to an array. This may lead to denial of service or possible escalation of privileges.
- CVE-2017-6257High
The NVIDIA GPU Display Driver contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer handler where a NULL pointer dereference may lead to denial of service or potential escalation of privileges.
- CVE-2017-0352High
All versions of the NVIDIA GPU Display Driver contain a vulnerability in the GPU firmware that may allow incorrect access to sensitive GPU control registers by the CPU, leading to an escalation of privileges.
- CVE-2017-0351High
All versions of the NVIDIA GPU Display Driver contain a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer handler where a NULL pointer dereference caused by invalid user input may lead to denial of service or potential escalation of privileges.
- CVE-2017-0350High
All versions of the NVIDIA GPU Display Driver contain a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer handler where a value passed from a user to the driver is not correctly validated. This may lead to denial of service or potential escalation of privileges.
- CVE-2017-0321High
All versions of the NVIDIA GPU Display Driver contain a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer handler where a NULL pointer dereference caused by invalid user input may lead to denial of service or potential escalation of privileges.
- CVE-2017-0309High
All versions of the NVIDIA GPU Display Driver contain a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer handler where multiple integer overflows may cause improper memory allocation leading to a denial of service or potential escalation of privileges.
- CVE-2016-7389High
The NVIDIA GPU Display Driver on Linux in versions R304 before 304.132, R340 before 340.98, R367 before 367.55, R361_93 before 361.93.03, and R370 before 370.28 contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvidia.ko) handler for mmap(). Improper input validation may allow users to gain access to arbitrary physical memory, leading to an escalation of privileges.
- CVE-2026-47604Medium
NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode driver where a local user may access another process's GPU channel state due to missing authorization checks. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to information disclosure.
- CVE-2026-47603Medium
NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode driver where a local user may access another process's GPU channel state due to missing authorization checks. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to information disclosure.
