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 kernel mode layer where an
    attacker could cause a null pointer dereference. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to
    denial of service. (CVE-2026-47531)

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.

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

  - NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows contains a vulnerability in the kernel module where a user could cause   improper locking. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to denial of service. (CVE-2026-47581)

  - NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows contains a vulnerability in the kernel module where an attacker with   local access could cause a NULL pointer dereference. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to   denial of service. (CVE-2026-47584)

  - NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer where an   attacker could cause a null pointer dereference. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to   denial of service. (CVE-2026-47531)

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

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer where an     attacker could cause a null pointer dereference. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to     denial of service. (CVE-2026-47531)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
