It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-8818 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Nvidia Gpu Driver. 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-2016-8818/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8818/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-8818","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8818/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-8818","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pgp5-wmq5-xx4p"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"NVIDIA GPU Driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can cause denial of service or escalate privileges via improper pointer validation in the NVIDIA Windows GPU driver kernel mode layer.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"nvidia","cpe":[{"product":"gpu_driver","vendor":"nvidia"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"All versions of NVIDIA Windows GPU Display contain a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgDdiEscape where a pointer passed from a user to the driver is used without validation, leading to denial of service or potential escalation of privileges.","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":"Null dereference in Quadro, NVS, GeForce, GRID and Tesla","id":"CVE-2016-8818","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"nvidia:gpu_driver","products":["nvidia:gpu_driver"],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in Quadro, NVS, GeForce, GRID and Tesla","id":"CVE-2016-8819"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in Quadro, NVS, GeForce, GRID and Tesla","id":"CVE-2016-8817"},"products":["Quadro, NVS, GeForce, GRID and Tesla"],"published":"2016-12-16","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in GPU Display Driver","id":"CVE-2019-5684","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-06"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-5053","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-11-24"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-5986","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-01-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in GPU Display Driver","id":"CVE-2019-5685","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-06"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Null dereference in GPU Display Driver","id":"CVE-2018-6247","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-04-02"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in GPU Display Driver","id":"CVE-2018-6248","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-04-02"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Null dereference in GPU Display Driver","id":"CVE-2018-6249","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-04-02"}],"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":["Nvidia Corporation"]},"summary":"An attacker can cause denial of service or escalate privileges via improper pointer validation in the NVIDIA Windows GPU driver kernel mode layer.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-8818/"}
