Insecure Default Initialization of Resource in NVIDIA vGPU software (Virtual GPU Manager) Driver and NVIDIA Linux GPU Display Driver - CVE-2026-24197

Vulnerability identifier: #VU131813

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 6.8 [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]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-24197

CWE-ID: CWE-1188

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to insecure default initialization in Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) partition management when reconfiguring partitions. A local user can trigger data corruption or a hang during partition reconfiguration to cause a denial of service.

The issue affects memory subsystem routing resources in MIG partition management.
