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.

Multiple Vulnerabilities in NVIDIA GPU Display Driver

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 Virtual GPU Manager software on the remote host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including the following:

  - NVIDIA vGPU software for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability in the GPU kernel driver where a guest   may access privileged host GPU resources for which it is not authorized. A successful exploit of this   vulnerability might lead to code execution, escalation of privileges, data tampering, denial of service, and   information disclosure. (CVE-2026-47493)

  - NVIDIA vGPU Virtual GPU Manager for Linux contains a vulnerability where an attacker could cause incorrect   resource transfer between spheres. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to code execution,   denial of service, escalation of privileges, information disclosure, and data tampering. (CVE-2026-47574)

  - 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)

  - 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)

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.

A     successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to information disclosure. (CVE-2026-47604)

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