Technical details

A deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability (CWE-502) exists in NVIDIA DALI versions prior to 2.0.0. The flaw allows a local attacker with low privileges to execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into processing a specially crafted file. The attack vector is local (AV:L) and requires user interaction (UI:R). Successful exploitation results in high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The issue is addressed in NVIDIA DALI version 2.0.0.
