CVE-2026-47562: CWE-116 Improper Encoding or Escaping of Output in NVIDIA GeForce
CVE-2026-47562 is a medium severity vulnerability in the NVIDIA GeForce GPU Display Driver for Linux. It involves improper encoding or escaping of output in the kernel mode layer, allowing a user to inject crafted text into the kernel log via an unsanitized version string. Exploitation could lead to denial of service and data tampering.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CWE-116) exists in the NVIDIA GeForce GPU Display Driver for Linux kernel mode layer. The issue arises because the supplied version string is not properly sanitized before being logged to the kernel log. An attacker with limited privileges could inject crafted text into the kernel log, potentially causing denial of service or tampering with data integrity. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.4, reflecting low attack vector complexity but limited impact on confidentiality and moderate impact on integrity and availability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation may cause denial of service conditions and data tampering in the kernel log. There is no impact on confidentiality. The vulnerability requires local access with low privileges and does not require user interaction.
Mitigation Recommendations
No patch or official remediation information is currently available. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the NVIDIA vendor advisory for current remediation guidance.
