NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit 12.8.0 Multiple Vulnerabilities (February_2025)

low Nessus Plugin ID 216913

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 12.8.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the February_2025 advisory.

 - NVIDIA CUDA toolkit for all platforms contains a vulnerability in the cuobjdump binary, where a user could cause an out-of-bounds read by passing a malformed ELF file to cuobjdump. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to a partial denial of service. (CVE-2024-53870, CVE-2024-53872, CVE-2024-53874, CVE-2024-53875)

 - CVE202453870 NVIDIA CUDA toolkit for all platforms contains a vulnerability in the cuobjdump binary, where a user could cause an out-of-bounds read by passing a malformed ELF file to cuobjdump. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to a partial denial of service. (CVE-2024-53870)

 - NVIDIA CUDA toolkit for all platforms contains a vulnerability in the nvdisasm binary, where a user could cause an out-of-bounds read by passing a malformed ELF file to nvdisasm. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to a partial denial of service. (CVE-2024-53871, CVE-2024-53876)

 - NVIDIA CUDA toolkit for Windows contains a vulnerability in the cuobjdump binary, where a user could cause an out-of-bounds read by passing a malformed ELF file to cuobjdump. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to a partial denial of service. (CVE-2024-53873)

 - NVIDIA CUDA toolkit for all platforms contains a vulnerability in the nvdisasm binary, where a user could cause a NULL pointer exception by passing a malformed ELF file to nvdisasm. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to a partial denial of service. (CVE-2024-53877)

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 12.8.0 or later.
