Technical details
A vulnerability exists in NVIDIA TRT-LLM (all platforms) classified as CWE-690 (Unchecked Return Value to NULL Pointer Dereference). The issue occurs when the software fails to verify the return value of a function before using it as a pointer, which can lead to a null pointer dereference. This is a local attack vector requiring user interaction (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R). A successful exploit allows an attacker to trigger a crash of the application, resulting in a denial of service (DoS). No impact on confidentiality or integrity was reported.
