NVIDIA Linux GPU Display Driver (Jun 2023)

high Nessus Plugin ID 177833

Language:

Synopsis

A display driver installed on the remote Linux host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

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

 - NVIDIA Jetson contains a vulnerability in CBoot, where the PCIe controller is initialized without IOMMU, which may allow an attacker with physical access to the target device to read and write to arbitrary memory. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to code execution, denial of service, information disclosure, and loss of integrity. (CVE-2023-25515)

 - An integer overflow vulnerability in the kernel mode layer that can result in information disclosure or denial of service. (CVE-2023-25516)

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

Solution

Upgrade the NVIDIA graphics driver in accordance with the vendor advisory.
