CVE-2026-47586 is a use-after-free vulnerability in the NVIDIA GeForce GPU Display Driver kernel module for Windows and Linux. Exploitation could allow an attacker to execute code, cause denial of service, escalate privileges, disclose information, or tamper with data. The vulnerability has a medium severity rating with a CVSS score of 6.4. No specific affected versions or patch information is provided.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves a use-after-free condition in the NVIDIA GeForce GPU Display Driver kernel module on Windows and Linux platforms. Successful exploitation may lead to multiple impacts including code execution, denial of service, privilege escalation, information disclosure, and data tampering. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4, reflecting medium severity with attack vector requiring physical access and high attack complexity. No vendor advisory or patch details are available in the provided data.
Potential Impact
If exploited, this vulnerability could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code, cause system crashes (denial of service), escalate privileges, disclose sensitive information, and tamper with data on affected systems running the NVIDIA GeForce GPU Display Driver. The attack vector is physical with high complexity, limiting remote exploitation likelihood.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until official fixes are available, restrict physical access to affected systems and monitor for updates from NVIDIA regarding patches or mitigations.
