Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit (unknown version). This issue affects an unknown code block of the component ELF File Parser. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a length parameter vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-130. The product parses a formatted message or structure, but it does not handle or incorrectly handles a length field that is inconsistent with the actual length of the associated data. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit for all platforms contains a vulnerability in the cuobjdump binary, where a failure to check the length of a buffer could allow a user to cause the tool to crash or execute arbitrary code by passing in a malformed ELF file. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to arbitrary code execution.

The advisory is shared at nvidia.custhelp.com. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2025-23247 since 01/14/2025. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is needed for a successful exploitation. It demands that the victim is doing some kind of user interaction. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available.
