Technical details

The kernel mode driver fails to properly authorize access to GPU channel state, allowing a local attacker to read another process's GPU resources without proper permission checks. This is a local privilege escalation attack that requires prior local access and results in information disclosure. The vulnerability affects both Windows and Linux driver variants.
