CVE-2026-47540: CWE-191 Integer Underflow (Wrap or Wraparound) 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 integer underflow. 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 involves an integer underflow (CWE-191) in the kernel mode layer of the NVIDIA GeForce GPU Display Driver on Windows and Linux platforms. An attacker with limited privileges could exploit this flaw to manipulate integer values, potentially leading to multiple impacts including arbitrary code execution, denial of service, escalation of privileges, information leakage, and unauthorized data modification. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 7.8, indicating a high severity vulnerability. No specific affected versions or patches are provided in the available data.
Potential Impact
Exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker with local privileges to execute arbitrary code, cause denial of service conditions, escalate their privileges, disclose sensitive information, and tamper with data on affected systems running the NVIDIA GeForce GPU Display Driver. The high CVSS score reflects the broad impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or patch information is provided in the available data. Until a patch is available, limit access to affected systems and ensure only trusted users have local privileges.
