    NVIDIA nvJPEG library contains a vulnerability where an attacker can cause an out-of-bounds read by means
    of a specially crafted JPEG file. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to information
    disclosure or denial of service. (CVE-2025-23272)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.
