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-2017-6255 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-2017-6255/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6255/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-6255","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6255/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-6255","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-434j-v2p8-3fcp"],"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":"Windows GPU Driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can exploit improper input handling in the NVIDIA Windows GPU driver to escalate privileges or cause a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"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":"NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgkDdiEscape where an improper input parameter handling may lead to a 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":"Privilege escalation in NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver","id":"CVE-2017-6255","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"nvidia:gpu_driver","products":["nvidia:gpu_driver"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Integer overflow in NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver","id":"CVE-2017-6256"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Null dereference in NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver","id":"CVE-2017-6254"},"products":["NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver"],"published":"2017-07-28","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":"2024-09-16","vendors":["Nvidia Corporation"]},"summary":"An attacker can exploit improper input handling in the NVIDIA Windows GPU driver to escalate privileges or cause a denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6255/"}
