CVE-2026-47601: NVIDIA GPU Display Driver DMA-BUF privilege escalation

CVE-2026-47601 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.8 · Published 2026-09-30

NVIDIA's GPU display driver for Windows and Linux contains a memory access control flaw in its DMA-BUF kernel module. An unprivileged local user could exploit this to bypass security restrictions on shared memory buffers, potentially leading to code execution, privilege escalation, or data theft. This requires local system access but could significantly compromise GPU-based security boundaries.

Technical details

A vulnerability in the DMA-BUF import path of NVIDIA's open-source kernel module fails to properly preserve memory access permissions when importing read-only buffers from other devices. An unprivileged local attacker can trigger improper permission preservation through DMA-BUF import operations. Successful exploitation enables code execution, privilege escalation, information disclosure, and data tampering.
