Impact

This is a genuine but access-gated privilege-escalation/memory-corruption flaw rather than a mass-exploitation threat. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U) confirms local attack vector with LOW complexity but HIGH privileges already required - the attacker must already hold elevated rights on the host before triggering the kernel-mode out-of-bounds write, which is why the score sits at 6.7 (MEDIUM) despite full C:H/I:H/A:H technical impact. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC are present in the intelligence, so exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' The signals are consistent (no conflict): local-only reach plus a high-privilege precondition means realistic risk is escalation/DoS on an already-compromised or multi-user/vGPU host, not remote compromise. Note the 'RCE' tag overstates reach - with AV:L this is local code execution, not remote code execution, and the 'Microsoft' vendor tag is incorrect for an NVIDIA driver (see data_quality_flags).

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 30, 2026

Kernel-mode out-of-bounds write in NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux (GeForce, RTX/Quadro/NVS, Tesla, and vGPU guest drivers) allows a local attacker with high privileges to corrupt kernel memory, potentially leading to code execution, denial of service, privilege escalation, information disclosure, and data tampering. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis. Affected driver branches include GeForce prior to 595.91.07, RTX/Quadro/NVS prior to 596.86, Tesla prior to 616.92, and vGPU guest drivers prior to vGPU 19.5/20.1, among others.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patches exist: fixed driver versions include GeForce 595.91.07 or later, RTX/Quadro/NVS 596.86 or later, Tesla 616.92 or later, and vGPU guest drivers beyond vGPU 19.5/20.1. Update to the latest driver for your product branch. Consult the NVIDIA advisory at https://github.com/NVIDIA/product-security/tree/main/2026/5861 for the complete list of fixed versions because multiple branches exist (e.g., 615.71.09, 610.88, 610.57.04, 580.178.04, 582.78, 610.60, 616.56). As a compensating control, restrict local access to trusted administrators, but note that the vulnerability requires high privileges (PR:H) to exploit, so this control may already be in place; the primary risk is from an attacker who already has administrative access. Patching is the most effective remediation.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability is an out-of-bounds write (CWE-787) in the kernel-mode layer of the NVIDIA GPU Display Driver, affecting both Windows and Linux. The kernel-mode driver runs with high privileges, so a successful out-of-bounds write can corrupt kernel memory and potentially lead to code execution, denial of service, privilege escalation, information disclosure, and data tampering. The CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H indicates a local attack vector with low attack complexity, requiring high privileges (PR:H) and no user interaction. The affected products include GeForce, RTX/Quadro/NVS, Tesla, and vGPU guest drivers, as reflected in the CPEs cpe:2.3:a:nvidia:geforce, cpe:2.3:a:nvidia:rtx,_quadro,_nvs, and cpe:2.3:a:nvidia:tesla. The root cause class is memory corruption via improper bounds checking in the kernel-mode driver.

Attack Technique

Buffer Overflow HIGH

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.

Memory Corruption HIGH

Memory corruption occurs when a program writes data beyond the boundaries of allocated memory regions or accesses memory in unintended ways, violating the integrity of the process's address space.

Information Disclosure MEDIUM

Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.

Remote Code Execution CRITICAL

Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.

Denial of Service MEDIUM

Denial of Service attacks render applications or systems unavailable by overwhelming resources or triggering failure conditions.
