NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver (Jun 2023)

high Nessus Plugin ID 177834

Language:

Synopsis

The NVIDIA GPU display driver software on the remote Windows host is missing a vendor-supplied patch.

Description

A display driver installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities, as follows:

 - NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows contains a vulnerability in the user mode layer, where an unprivileged regular user can cause an out-of-bounds write, which may lead to code execution, denial of service, escalation of privileges, information disclosure, or data tampering. (CVE-2022-34671)

 - 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)

Note that Nessus has not attempted to exploit these issues but has instead relied only on the driver's self-reported version number.

Solution

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