DescriptionCVE.org

Software installed and run as a non-privileged user may conduct improper GPU system calls to gain write permission to read-only wrapped user-mode memory and files.

This is caused by improper handling of GPU memory reservation protections.

AnalysisAI

Local privilege escalation in Imagination Technologies Graphics DDK allows low-privileged users to modify read-only GPU memory and files through improper system call handling. Affects DDK versions 1.17 through 25.3 RTM across multiple release branches. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires authenticated local access with low-level user privileges (CVSS PR:L) on a system with Imagination Technologies Graphics DDK installed and GPU hardware accessible to unprivileged users. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Real-world risk is elevated for multi-user systems and containerized GPU workloads. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with standard user account access on a shared Linux workstation runs a malicious application that invokes GPU memory allocation system calls with crafted parameters. The vulnerable Graphics DDK kernel module incorrectly grants write permissions to GPU memory regions marked read-only, allowing the attacker to modify memory-mapped kernel data structures or files shared with privileged processes. …
Remediation Upgrade to patched Graphics DDK versions as specified in Imagination Technologies security advisory at https://www.imaginationtech.com/gpu-driver-vulnerabilities/. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: inventory all systems running Imagination Technologies Graphics DDK 1.17-25.3 RTM and isolate any handling sensitive data or running untrusted code. …
