high Nessus Plugin ID 270467

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2023 host is missing a security update.

Description

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023NVIDIA-2025-163 advisory.

NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit for all platforms contains a vulnerability in the nvdisasm binary where a user may cause an out-of-bounds read by passing a malformed ELF file to nvdisasm. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to a partial denial of service. (CVE-2025-23248)

NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit for all platforms contains a vulnerability in the cuobjdump binary where a user may cause an out-of-bounds read by passing a malformed ELF file to cuobjdump. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to a partial denial of service. (CVE-2025-23255)

NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit for all platforms contains a vulnerability in the nvdisasm binary where a user may cause an out-of-bounds read by passing a malformed ELF file to nvdisasm. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to a partial denial of service. (CVE-2025-23271)

NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit for all platforms contains a vulnerability in nvJPEG where a local authenticated user may cause a divide by zero error by submitting a specially crafted JPEG file. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to denial of service. (CVE-2025-23273)

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 an attacker may cause a heap-based buffer overflow by getting the user to run nvdisasm on a malicious ELF file. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to arbitrary code execution at the privilege level of the user running nvdisasm. (CVE-2025-23308)

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)

NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit for all platforms contains a vulnerability in cuobjdump where an attacker may cause a stack-based buffer overflow by getting the user to run cuobjdump on a malicious ELF file. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to arbitrary code execution at the privilege level of the user runningcuobjdump. (CVE-2025-23339)

NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit for all platforms contains a vulnerability in the nvdisasm binary where a user may cause an out-of-bounds read by passing a malformed ELF file to nvdisasm. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to a partial denial of service. (CVE-2025-23340)

NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit contains a vulnerability in cuobjdump, where an unprivileged user can cause a NULL pointer dereference. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to a limited denial of service.
(CVE-2025-23346)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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

Solution

Run 'dnf update cuda-toolkit-13 --releasever latest' or or 'dnf update --advisory ALAS2023NVIDIA-2025-163 --releasever latest' to update your system.
