NVIDIA vGPU Software

CVE-ID	Description	Base Score	Vector
CVE‑2020‑5968	NVIDIA Virtual GPU Manager contains a vulnerability in the vGPU plugin, in which the software does not restrict or incorrectly restricts operations within the boundaries of a resource that is accessed by using an index or pointer, such as memory or files, which may lead to code execution, denial of service, escalation of privileges, or information disclosure.	7.8	AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
CVE‑2020‑5969	NVIDIA Virtual GPU Manager contains a vulnerability in the vGPU plugin, in which it validates a shared resource before using it, creating a race condition which may lead to denial of service or information disclosure.	7.8	AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
CVE‑2020‑5970	NVIDIA Virtual GPU Manager contains a vulnerability in the vGPU plugin, in which an input data size is not validated, which may lead to tampering or denial of service.	7.8	AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
CVE‑2020‑5971	NVIDIA Virtual GPU Manager contains a vulnerability in the vGPU plugin, in which the software reads from a buffer by using buffer access mechanisms such as indexes or pointers that reference memory locations after the targeted buffer, which may lead to code execution, denial of service, escalation of privileges, or information disclosure.	7.8	AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
CVE‑2020‑5972	NVIDIA Virtual GPU Manager contains a vulnerability in the vGPU plugin, in which local pointer variables are not initialized and may be freed later, which may lead to tampering or denial of service.	5.5	AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
CVE‑2020‑5973	NVIDIA Virtual GPU Manager and the guest drivers contain a vulnerability in vGPU plugin, in which there is the potential to execute privileged operations, which may lead to denial of service.	4.4	AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

The NVIDIA risk assessment is based on an average of risk across a diverse set of installed systems and may not represent the true risk to your local installation. NVIDIA recommends consulting a security or IT professional to evaluate the risk to your specific configuration.
