It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2016-4960 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2016-4960 is a high-severity vulnerability in Quadro, NVS, GeForce (all versions), published on 8 Nov 2016. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-4960 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Quadro, NVS, GeForce (all versions). No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4960/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4960/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-4960","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4960/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-4960","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gg38-rv87-v946"],"analysis":{"component_type":"hardware_firmware","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"NVIDIA GPU driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can exploit improper input validation in the NVIDIA NVStreamKMS.sys service to elevate privileges on systems using affected NVIDIA GPU drivers.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"nvidia","cpe":[{"product":"geforce_experience","vendor":"nvidia"}],"cvss":{"score":7.3,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"For the NVIDIA Quadro, NVS, and GeForce products, the NVIDIA NVStreamKMS.sys service component is improperly validating user-supplied data through its API entry points causing an elevation of privilege.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Quadro, NVS, GeForce (all versions)","id":"CVE-2016-4960","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in Quadro, NVS, GeForce (all versions)","id":"CVE-2016-4961"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Null dereference in Quadro, NVS, GeForce (all versions)","id":"CVE-2016-4959"},"products":["Quadro, NVS, GeForce (all versions)"],"published":"2016-11-08","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Code injection in GeForce Experience","id":"CVE-2017-6250","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-04-28"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Quadro, NVS, and GeForce (all versions)","id":"CVE-2016-8812","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-11-08"},{"cvss_score":8.3,"headline":"Information disclosure in NVIDIA GeForce Experience Software","id":"CVE-2021-1073","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Path traversal in GeForce Experience","id":"CVE-2022-42291","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-07"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Missing authorization in NVIDIA GeForce Experience Software","id":"CVE-2021-23175","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-12-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Path traversal in NVIDIA GeForce Experience Software","id":"CVE-2020-5977","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-10-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in NVIDIA GeForce Experience Software","id":"CVE-2020-5978","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-10-23"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An attacker can exploit improper input validation in the NVIDIA NVStreamKMS.sys service to elevate privileges on systems using affected NVIDIA GPU drivers.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4960/"}
