Description
This security bulletin contains information about 8 vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-0071)
CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted input in the user mode layer within the NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
2) Execution with unnecessary privileges (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-0073)
CWE-ID: CWE-250 - Execution with Unnecessary Privileges
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to execution with unnecessary privileges in the kernel mode layer within the NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows. A local low-privileged user can execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
3) Access of Memory Location After End of Buffer (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-0074)
CWE-ID: CWE-788 - Access of Memory Location After End of Buffer
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Linux. A local user can access a memory location after the end of the buffer and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-0075)
CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error. A local user can pass specially crafted data to the driver and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
5) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-0078)
CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error. A local user can pass specially crafted data to the driver and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42265)
CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow within the NVIDIA GPU Display Driver in the kernel mode layer (nvidia.ko). A local user can trigger an integer overflow and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack or gain access to sensitive information.
7) Improper Authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-0077)
CWE-ID: CWE-285 - Improper Authorization
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a malicious guest to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper authorization within the vGPU plugin when allocating resources for the guest OS. A malicious guest can escalate privileges on the system.
8) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-0079)
CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a malicious guest to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in the kernel mode layer. A malicious guest can pass specially crafted data to the driver and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
