medium Nessus Plugin ID 206678

Synopsis

The remote host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit installed on the remote host is prior to 12.6.68 (12.6U1). It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the August 2024 advisory.

- NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit contains a vulnerability in command `cuobjdump` where a user may cause a crash by passing in a malformed ELF file. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may cause an out of bounds read in the unprivileged process memory which could lead to a limited denial of service. (CVE-2024-0109)

- NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit contains a vulnerability in command `cuobjdump` where a user may cause an out-of-bound write by passing in a malformed ELF file. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to code execution or denial of service. (CVE-2024-0110)

- NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit contains a vulnerability in command 'cuobjdump' where a user may cause a crash or produce incorrect output by passing a malformed ELF file. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to a limited denial of service or data tampering. (CVE-2024-0111)

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

Solution

Upgrade to NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit version 12.6.68 (12.6U1) or later.
