CVE-2026-47510
Description
A flaw was found in the NVIDIA GPU display driver. A local user can trigger an integer overflow in the kernel mode layer, leading to an out-of-bounds write to graphics processing unit (GPU) memory. A successful exploit could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code, escalate privileges, cause a denial of service (DoS), or disclose sensitive information.
Statement
This vulnerability is rated as Important because an authenticated local user can trigger an integer overflow in the kernel-level driver to corrupt GPU memory, potentially achieving elevated privileges or causing a denial of service. The impact is limited to Important rather than Critical because exploitation cannot occur remotely and requires local execution privileges on systems equipped with NVIDIA graphics hardware. Deployments without NVIDIA GPUs or environments where the proprietary driver module is not loaded remain unaffected by this flaw.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
