CVE-2026-24199: CWE-362 Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition') in NVIDIA GeForce
A race condition vulnerability (CWE-362) exists in the NVIDIA Display Driver for Linux kernel module affecting GeForce drivers prior to version 595.71.05. This flaw arises from improper synchronization when reordering compiler or processor memory instructions. Exploitation could result in a denial of service condition. The vulnerability has a medium severity with a CVSS score of 4.7. No known exploits are reported in the wild. Patch status is not confirmed as no official fix or vendor advisory is provided.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-24199 describes a race condition vulnerability in the NVIDIA GeForce Linux display driver kernel module. The issue stems from improper synchronization of shared resources, allowing a local user with low privileges to reorder memory instructions, potentially causing a denial of service. This affects all driver versions prior to 595.71.05. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.7, reflecting a medium severity with local attack vector, high attack complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, and impact limited to availability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of this race condition vulnerability can cause denial of service by disrupting the normal operation of the NVIDIA display driver kernel module. There is no impact on confidentiality or integrity. The attack requires local access with low privileges and has high complexity, reducing the likelihood of widespread exploitation. No known exploits are currently reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the NVIDIA vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, consider limiting local access to trusted users and monitoring for unusual system behavior related to the display driver. No official remediation or temporary fix is currently documented.
