Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponized: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 30 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Apply the official security updates provided by Ubuntu for linux-nvidia-6.8 packages to versions 6.8.0-1039.42~22.04.1, 6.8.0-1039.42, or 6.8.0-1039.42.1 as appropriate. After updating, reboot the system to activate the fixes. Due to an ABI change, recompile and reinstall all third-party kernel modules. Follow the vendor advisory USN-7765-1 for detailed instructions. No other mitigation actions are specified or required.

Description

Multiple security vulnerabilities were discovered in the Linux kernel used in NVIDIA systems, affecting numerous subsystems including architectures (ARM32, ARM64, x86), GPU drivers, network drivers, memory management, and others. These flaws could potentially allow an attacker to compromise the system. Updates correcting these issues are available for linux-nvidia-6.8 and related packages. Users must apply the updates and reboot to ensure protection. Due to an ABI change, recompilation of third-party kernel modules is required after updating.

Impact

The vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to compromise the system, potentially leading to unauthorized access or control. The broad range of affected subsystems indicates multiple attack vectors. However, no specific exploitation in the wild has been reported. The impact is significant given the kernel-level nature of the flaws, affecting core system components and drivers.

Summary

CVE-2024-58090 refers to a set of security issues in the Linux kernel for NVIDIA systems, impacting a wide range of subsystems such as ARM32, ARM64, x86 architectures, GPU drivers, network drivers, memory management, and many others. These vulnerabilities collectively could allow an attacker to compromise the affected system. The issues are addressed in updated kernel versions 6.8.0-1039.42~22.04.1, 6.8.0-1039.42, and 6.8.0-1039.42.1. The update requires a system reboot and recompilation of third-party kernel modules due to ABI changes. The vendor advisory from Ubuntu (USN-7765-1) confirms the availability of patches and provides detailed update instructions.
