CVE-2026-47563

Summary

The flaw is a NULL pointer dereference in the NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Linux, which could allow a user to execute arbitrary code, cause a denial of service, escalate privileges, disclose information, and tamper with data. This vulnerability is significant because it can be exploited by local attackers to gain elevated privileges and control over the system.

Exploitability

Exploitation is relatively easy given the local attacker context, and no specific preconditions are required other than local user access to the system.

Blast radius

If exploited, the impact could be severe, leading to code execution, denial of service, privilege escalation, information disclosure, and data tampering, affecting the entire system and potentially other users or services running on the same machine.

Detection

No reliable host or network indicator is derivable from the published description.

Prioritized remediation

Upgrade to the fixed version 535.111 or later.
