CVE-2026-47523: CWE-787 Out-of-bounds Write in NVIDIA GeForce
NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer where an attacker could cause an out-of-bounds write. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to code execution, denial of service, escalation of privileges, information disclosure, and data tampering.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CWE-787) exists in the kernel mode layer of NVIDIA GeForce GPU Display Drivers on Windows and Linux platforms. An attacker with limited privileges could exploit an out-of-bounds write condition to execute arbitrary code, cause denial of service, escalate privileges, disclose sensitive information, or tamper with data. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 7.8, reflecting high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No known exploits in the wild have been reported, and no patch or remediation details are provided in the available data.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation may allow an attacker with local access and low privileges to execute arbitrary code in kernel mode, disrupt system availability, escalate privileges, and compromise confidentiality and integrity of data on affected systems.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict local access to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to GPU driver usage.
