Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability in the firmware where an attacker
    could cause a null pointer dereference. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to denial of
    service. (CVE-2026-47526)

The NVIDIA GPU display driver software on the remote Linux host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including the following:

  - NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer where a user could   cause uncontrolled kernel log generation by repeatedly invoking an interface that emits unrate-limited error   messages. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to denial of service. (CVE-2026-47568)

  - NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode driver where a   local user may access another process's GPU channel state due to missing authorization checks. A successful   exploit of this vulnerability might lead to information disclosure. (CVE-2026-47603, CVE-2026-47604)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
