Synopsis

A GPU virtualization application installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

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 Display Driver for Linux and Windows contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode driver, where an attacker could access memory outside bounds permitted under normal use cases. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to denial of service, data tampering, or information disclosure. (CVE-2025-23277)

- NVIDIA Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability where an attacker might cause an improper index validation by issuing a call with crafted parameters. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to data tampering or denial of service. (CVE-2025-23278)

- NVIDIA .run Installer for Linux and Solaris contains a vulnerability where an attacker could use a race condition to escalate privileges. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to code execution, escalation of privileges, information disclosure, denial of service, or data tampering. (CVE-2025-23279)

- NVIDIA vGPU software for Linux-style hypervisors contains a vulnerability in the Virtual GPU Manager, where a malicious guest could cause stack buffer overflow. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to code execution, denial of service, escalation of privileges, information disclosure, or data tampering. (CVE-2025-23283)

- NVIDIA vGPU software contains a vulnerability in the Virtual GPU Manager, where a malicious guest could cause a stack buffer overflow. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to code execution, denial of service, information disclosure, or data tampering. (CVE-2025-23284)

- NVIDIA vGPU software contains a vulnerability in the Virtual GPU Manager, where it allows a guest to access global resources. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to denial of service. (CVE-2025-23285)

- NVIDIA vGPU software contains a vulnerability in the Virtual GPU Manager, where a guest could get global GPU metrics which may be influenced by work in other VMs. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to information disclosure. (CVE-2025-23290) 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 vGPU Manager software in accordance with the vendor advisory.
