NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer where an unprivileged user could bypass read-only memory protection due to incorrect authorization, enabling write access to memory marked read-only. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to code execution, denial of service, escalation of privileges, information disclosure, and data tampering.

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