Remote code execution in NVIDIA CUDA toolkit

1) Buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU109862

Risk: High

CVSSv4.0: 4.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber]

CVE-ID: CVE-2025-23247

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the uobjdump binary. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted ELF binary, trick the victim into passing the ELF binary to the application, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.
