Threat & Defense Details

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match

prevent

Requires timely remediation of the specific memory corruption vulnerability in NVIDIA vGPU software through application of vendor patches.

SI-16 Memory Protection good match

prevent

Directly protects against guest-induced memory corruption in the Virtual GPU Manager via mechanisms like DEP and ASLR.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

prevent

Enforces input validation to prevent buffer copy without size checking (CWE-120) when the Virtual GPU Manager processes malicious guest data.

NVD Description

NVIDIA vGPU software contains a vulnerability in the Virtual GPU Manager, where a malicious guest could cause memory corruption. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to code execution, denial of service, information disclosure, or data tampering.
