NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability in a secure microcontroller component, where incorrect permission assignment for a critical resource allows an attacker with privileged local access to modify protected memory that should be restricted. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to code execution and escalation of privileges.

Exploitation none (CISA Vulnrichment) · Automatable no (CISA Vulnrichment) · Technical impact total (CISA Vulnrichment). Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it: high means the affected system is essential to your organisation's mission, or its compromise could cause irreversible harm to people.
