Description

NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit for all platforms contains a vulnerability in nvdisasm where an attacker may cause a heap-based buffer overflow by getting the user to run nvdisasm on a malicious ELF file. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to arbitrary code execution at the privilege level of the user running nvdisasm.

CWE

KEV

CWE ID	Description
CWE-122	A heap overflow condition is a buffer overflow, where the buffer that can be overwritten is allocated in the heap portion of memory, generally meaning that the buffer was allocated using a routine such as malloc().

Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in the NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit's nvdisasm tool, where processing a malicious ELF file can cause a heap-based buffer overflow. This overflow may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the same privileges as the user running nvdisasm.

Impact Analysis

If exploited, this vulnerability can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on your system with your user privileges, potentially compromising your system's security depending on what actions the attacker takes.
