CVE-2026-47556: CWE-190 Integer Overflow or Wraparound in NVIDIA GeForce
NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer where an unprivileged user could cause an integer overflow that leads to 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
The NVIDIA GeForce GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a kernel mode integer overflow vulnerability (CWE-190) that can be exploited by an unprivileged user to cause an out-of-bounds write. This memory corruption can lead to multiple impacts including arbitrary code execution, denial of service, escalation of privileges, information disclosure, and data tampering. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 7.8, reflecting high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No vendor advisory or patch details are available in the provided data.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow an unprivileged user to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges, cause system crashes (denial of service), disclose sensitive information, and tamper with data. This affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a patch or official fix is available, limit access to the affected systems and monitor for suspicious activity related to GPU driver usage. Do not assume the vulnerability is mitigated without vendor confirmation.
