Attack profile from CVSS 3.1 · CISA ADP. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-476.
Summary
Software installed and run as a non-privileged user may conduct improper GPU system calls to trigger OOB access and kernel null pointer dereference in an error path. Null pointer dereference occurs in an error path of a function running in kernel thread of execution leading to kernel exceptions, platform instability and denial of service.
