NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit < 13.0 Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 265968

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit installed on the remote host is prior to 13.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including the following:

 - NVIDIA nvJPEG contains a vulnerability in jpeg encoding where a user may cause an out-of-bounds read by providing a maliciously crafted input image with dimensions that cause integer overflows in array index calculations. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to denial of service. (CVE-2025-23274)

 - NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit for all platforms contains a vulnerability in nvJPEG where a local authenticated user may cause a GPU out-of-bounds write by providing certain image dimensions. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to denial of service and information disclosure. (CVE-2025-23275)

 - NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit for all platforms contains a vulnerability in nvdisasm where a user may cause an out-of-bounds write by running nvdisasm on a malicious ELF file. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to denial of service. (CVE-2025-23338)

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

Solution

Upgrade to NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit version 13.0 or later.
