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.

The remote openSUSE 16 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2026:22106-1 advisory.

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 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)

The NVIDIA Virtual GPU Manager software on the remote 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 Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer where a user could   inject crafted text into the kernel log because the supplied version string is not properly sanitized. A   successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to denial of service and data tampering. (CVE-2026-47562)

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

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 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 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.
