Out-of-Bounds Read Vulnerability in NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit

CVE-2024-53871

What is CVE-2024-53871?

The NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit across multiple platforms is vulnerable due to the nvdisasm binary, which does not properly handle malformed ELF files. This oversight allows an attacker to exploit the system by causing an out-of-bounds read, potentially leading to a partial denial of service. Users are advised to verify their configurations and implement necessary updates to mitigate the risk.
