NVIDIA Graphics Driver up to 370.27 on Quadro/NVS/GeForce/Tesla Kernel Mode Layer nvidia.ko mmap access control

CVSS Meta Temp Score CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.	Current Exploit Price (≈) Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.	CTI Interest Score Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in NVIDIA Graphics Driver up to 304.131/340.97/367.54/361.93.02/370.27 on Quadro/NVS/GeForce/Tesla (Hardware Driver Software). It has been classified as critical. This affects the function mmap in the library nvidia.ko of the component Kernel Mode Layer. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a access control vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-264. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

For the NVIDIA Quadro, NVS, GeForce, and Tesla products, NVIDIA GPU Display Driver on Linux R304 before 304.132, R340 before 340.98, R367 before 367.55, R361_93 before 361.93.03, and R370 before 370.28 contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvidia.ko) handler for mmap() where improper input validation may allow users to gain access to arbitrary physical memory, leading to an escalation of privileges.

The weakness was published 11/08/2016 (Website). The advisory is shared at nvidia.custhelp.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2016-7389 since 09/09/2016. The exploitability is told to be easy. An attack has to be approached locally. The successful exploitation requires a authentication. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1068 for this issue.

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 94573 (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS / 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS : nvidia-graphics-drivers-304, nvidia-graphics-drivers-340, nvidia-graphics-drivers-367 vulnerability (USN-3122-1)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Ubuntu Local Security Checks and running in the context l. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 196620 (Ubuntu Security Notification for Nvidia-graphics-drivers-304, Nvidia-graphics-drivers-340, (USN-3122-1)).

Upgrading to version 304.132, 340.98, 367.55, 361.93.03 or 370.28 eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published before and not just after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at Tenable (94573) and SecurityFocus (BID 94177†). Similar entry is available at VDB-93338. Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
