CVE-2024-0088
Published: 14 May 2024
Summary
CVE-2024-0088 is a medium-severity Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer (CWE-119) vulnerability in Nvidia Triton Inference Server. Its CVSS base score is 5.5 (Medium).
Operationally, ranked in the top 9.1% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Deeper analysis
NVIDIA Triton Inference Server for Linux is affected by CVE-2024-0088, a vulnerability in its shared memory APIs that permits improper memory access when invoked through a network API. The flaw is tracked under CWE-119 and CWE-787 and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 5.5, reflecting network attack vector, high attack complexity, and high privileges required.
An authenticated attacker with high privileges can send crafted requests over the network to trigger the flaw, resulting in denial of service and data tampering with limited impact on confidentiality and integrity. The published EPSS remains low at 0.0604 with a peak of only 0.0619, indicating no material increase in observed exploitation interest after disclosure.
NVIDIA has published advisory information at https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5535 describing available mitigations and patches for the issue.

Likely Mitigating Controls AI
Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Memory protections (e.g., W^X, ASLR) make exploitation of buffer-boundary violations far harder to turn into code execution.
Ongoing control assessments and code testing (static/dynamic analysis, fuzzing) surface memory buffer restriction failures, which are then remediated before release.
Managed runtimes used by platform-independent applications (e.g., JVM, CLR) enforce memory safety, preventing most buffer overflows that require direct memory manipulation.
Detects exploitation attempts that produce memory corruption, crashes, or anomalous behavior.
