CVE-2024-52936: GPU DDK - rgxfw_hwperf_config OOB read & write

MediumCVSS 4.4 · v3.1—No exploit No fix recorded

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 17/100)

  • 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: 0.19% (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.
  • According to the record, no fixed version is available yet.

Low priority for now. Update when a fix is released; follow the vendor's advisory.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

Kernel software installed and running inside a Guest VM may post improper commands to the GPU Firmware to write data outside the Guest's virtualised GPU memory.
