NVIDIA Virtual GPU Manager for Linux DoS (September 2026)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 362646

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 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 Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer where a user could inject crafted text into the kernel log because the supplied version string is not properly sanitized. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to denial of service and data tampering. (CVE-2026-47562)

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.
