What is CVE-2021-1111?

A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the NV3P server of NVIDIA's Bootloader, allowing an adversary with physical access via USB to exploit an incorrect bounds check. This flaw may enable limited information disclosure, compromise data integrity, and cause a denial of service across multiple system components.
