Technical details
The vulnerability exists in the kernel mode layer of NVIDIA's GPU display driver where memory permission bits are not properly preserved, allowing an unprivileged user to gain write access to read-only memory regions. This memory safety issue can be leveraged for privilege escalation, code execution in kernel context, information disclosure, or denial of service. An attacker requires only local access and standard user privileges to trigger the vulnerability.
