"It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023NVIDIA-2025-167 advisory.
NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit for all platforms contains a vulnerability in the nvdisasm binary where a user may
cause an out-of-bounds read by passing a malformed ELF file to nvdisasm. A successful exploit of this
vulnerability may lead to a partial denial of service. (CVE-2025-23248)
NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit for all platforms contains a vulnerability in the cuobjdump binary where a user may
cause an out-of-bounds read by passing a malformed ELF file to cuobjdump. A successful exploit of this
vulnerability may lead to a partial denial of service. (CVE-2025-23255)
NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit for all platforms contains a vulnerability in the nvdisasm binary where a user may
cause an out-of-bounds read by passing a malformed ELF file to nvdisasm. A successful exploit of this
vulnerability may lead to a partial denial of service. (CVE-2025-23271)
NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit for all platforms contains a vulnerability in nvJPEG where a local authenticated user
may cause a divide by zero error by submitting a specially crafted JPEG file. A successful exploit of this
vulnerability may lead to denial of service. (CVE-2025-23273)
NVIDIA nvJPEG contains a vulnerability in jpeg encoding where a user may cause an out-of-bounds read by
providing a maliciously crafted input image with dimensions that cause integer overflows in array index
calculations. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to denial of service. (CVE-2025-23274)
NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit for all platforms contains a vulnerability in nvJPEG where a local authenticated user
may cause a GPU out-of-bounds write by providing certain image dimensions. A successful exploit of this
vulnerability may lead to denial of service and information disclosure. (CVE-2025-23275)
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. (CVE-2025-23308)
NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit for all platforms contains a vulnerability in nvdisasm where a user may cause an out-
of-bounds write by running nvdisasm on a malicious ELF file. A successful exploit of this vulnerability
may lead to denial of service. (CVE-2025-23338)
NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit for all platforms contains a vulnerability in cuobjdump where an attacker may cause a
stack-based buffer overflow by getting the user to run cuobjdump on a malicious ELF file. A successful
exploit of this vulnerability may lead to arbitrary code execution at the privilege level of the user
runningcuobjdump. (CVE-2025-23339)
NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit for all platforms contains a vulnerability in the nvdisasm binary where a user may
cause an out-of-bounds read by passing a malformed ELF file to nvdisasm. A successful exploit of this
vulnerability may lead to a partial denial of service. (CVE-2025-23340)
NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit contains a vulnerability in cuobjdump, where an unprivileged user can cause a NULL
pointer dereference. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to a limited denial of service.
