CVE-2024-0075: NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability where a user may cause a NULL-pointer dereference by accessing pass

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 24/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.20% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Debian:13) 550.144.03-1; nvidia-open-gpu-kernel-modules (Debian:13) 550.144.03-1; kernel-firmware-nvidia-gspx-G06 (openSUSE:Leap 15.5) 550.54.14-150500.11.18.1.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to nvidia-graphics-drivers (Debian:13) 550.144.03-1; nvidia-open-gpu-kernel-modules (Debian:13) 550.144.03-1; kernel-firmware-nvidia-gspx-G06 (openSUSE:Leap 15.5) 550.54.14-150500.11.18.1 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability where a user may cause a NULL-pointer dereference by accessing passed parameters the validity of which has not been checked. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to denial of service and limited information disclosure.
