NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit < 12.6 (July 2024)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 202585

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit installed on the remote host is prior to 12.6. It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service vulnerability as referenced in the July 2024 advisory. An unauthenticated, local attacker, can exploit this, by deceiving a user into reading a malformed ELF file, to cause an out-of-bounds read, which might lead to a denial of service.

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 12.6 or later.
