NVIDIA has released a software security update for NVIDIA GPU Display Driver. This update addresses issues that may lead to denial of service or memory corruption.
To protect your system, download and install this software update through the NVIDIA Driver Downloads page or, for the vGPU software update, through the NVIDIA Licensing Portal.
Go to NVIDIA Product Security.
This section provides a summary of potential vulnerabilities that this security update addresses and their impact. Descriptions use CWE™, and base scores and vectors use CVSS v3.1 standards.
CVE ID | Description | Base Score | Vector |
---|---|---|---|
CVE‑2022‑21813 | NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel driver, where improper handling of insufficient permissions or privileges may allow an unprivileged local user limited write access to protected memory, which can lead to denial of service. | 6.1 | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H |
CVE‑2022‑21814 | NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel driver package, where improper handling of insufficient permissions or privileges may allow an unprivileged local user limited write access to protected memory, which can lead to denial of service. | 6.1 | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H |
CVE‑2022‑21815 | NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys ) handler for private IOCTLs where a NULL pointer dereference in the kernel, created within user mode code, may lead to a denial of service in the form of a system crash. |
5.5 | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H |
CVE ID | Description | Base Score | Vector |
---|---|---|---|
CVE‑2022‑21816 | NVIDIA vGPU software contains a vulnerability in the Virtual GPU Manager (nvidia.ko ), where a user in the guest OS can cause a GPU interrupt storm on the hypervisor host, leading to a denial of service. |
5.5 | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H |
