NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit < 12.6.77 (12.6U2) Multiple Vulnerabilities (October 2024)

low Nessus Plugin ID 208118

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 12.6.77 (12.6U2). It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the October 2024 advisory.

- NVIDIA CUDA toolkit for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability in the nvdisasm command line tool where an attacker may cause an improper validation in input issue by tricking the user into running nvdisasm on a malicious ELF file. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to denial of service. (CVE-2024-0123)

- NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability in the nvdisam command line tool, where a user can cause nvdisasm to read freed memory by running it on a malformed ELF file. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to a limited denial of service. (CVE-2024-0124)

- NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability in the nvdisam command line tool, where a user can cause a NULL pointer dereference by running nvdisasm on a malformed ELF file. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to a limited denial of service. (CVE-2024-0125)

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 12.6.77 (12.6U2) or later.
