CVE-2026-47558: CWE-415 Double Free in NVIDIA GeForce
NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer where an unprivileged user could cause a double-free of imported memory state. 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 is a double-free issue (CWE-415) in the NVIDIA GeForce GPU Display Driver for Linux kernel mode layer. An unprivileged user can cause a double-free of imported memory state, potentially leading to multiple impacts including code execution, denial of service, escalation of privileges, information disclosure, and data tampering. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 7.8, reflecting high severity with local attack vector, low attack complexity, and requiring low privileges without user interaction.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation may allow an unprivileged local user to execute arbitrary code, cause system crashes (denial of service), escalate privileges, disclose sensitive information, and tamper with data on affected systems.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official patch or workaround information is provided in the available data.
