NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit < 12.2 DoS

low Nessus Plugin ID 178015

Language:

Synopsis

The version of NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit installed on the remote host is affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

The version of NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit installed on the remote host is prior to 12.2. It is, therefore affected by a denial of service vulnerability due to a NULL pointer deference in the nvdiasm binary file when parsing a malformed ELF file.

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

Solution

Upgrade to NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit 12.2 or later.
