Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
Kernel software installed and running inside a Guest VM may post improper commands to the GPU Firmware to trigger a write of data outside the Guest's virtualised GPU memory.
Software installed and run under a Guest VM can send commands to the GPU which result in out of bounds memory accesses. These can be used to escalate privileges.
AnalysisAI
Privilege escalation in Imagination Technologies Graphics DDK allows guest VM kernel software to issue crafted commands to GPU Firmware, triggering writes outside the guest's virtualized GPU memory boundary (CWE-823). Affected are multiple DDK release trains including versions 25.1 RTM2 through 25.3 RTM, 24.2 RTM2, 23.2 RTM2, and 1.18 RTM2. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires kernel-level (ring-0) code execution inside a Guest VM - the CVSS PR:L reflects that the attacker must already possess guest kernel privileges or the ability to load and run kernel software within the guest. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.8 (High) reflects a local attack vector with low privilege requirements and high impact across all three security properties - consistent with a guest-kernel privilege escalation. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Consult the Imagination Technologies GPU driver vulnerability advisory at https://www.imaginationtech.com/gpu-driver-vulnerabilities/ for patched DDK release versions; no specific fixed release version is independently confirmed in the available data, so administrators should verify the current fix version directly against the vendor page. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, audit infrastructure to identify all Imagination Technologies Graphics DDK installations using affected versions (25.1 RTM2-25.3 RTM, 24.2 RTM2, 23.2 RTM2, 1.18 RTM2) and their operational context. …
