CVE-2026-47586: NVIDIA GPU Display Driver use-after-free in kernel module

CVE-2026-47586 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.4 · Published 2026-09-30

NVIDIA's GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a use-after-free vulnerability in its kernel module that could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code, crash the system, escalate privileges, steal sensitive data, or modify system state. This affects systems relying on NVIDIA GPUs for compute, graphics, or rendering workloads where an attacker with kernel-level access could exploit the flaw.

Technologies: Nvidia GPU Display Driver. Vendors: Nvidia.

Technical details

A use-after-free condition in the kernel module allows an attacker to access freed memory, potentially leading to code execution, privilege escalation, denial of service, or information disclosure. The vulnerability requires kernel-level interaction and affects both Windows and Linux platforms. Exploitation could result in arbitrary code execution with kernel privileges.
