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-2020-5957 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: NVIDIA GPU Display 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-2020-5957/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5957/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-5957","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5957/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-5957","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-r259-m89p-gjgg"],"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":"A local attacker can corrupt system files via the NVIDIA Control Panel, leading to privilege escalation or denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"nvidia","cpe":[{"product":"geforce_experience","vendor":"nvidia"},{"product":"quadro_firmware","vendor":"nvidia"},{"product":"tesla_firmware","vendor":"nvidia"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver, all versions, contains a vulnerability in the NVIDIA Control Panel component in which an attacker with local system access can corrupt a system file, which may lead to denial of service or 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 GPU Display Driver","id":"CVE-2020-5957","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Other in NVIDIA GPU Display Driver","id":"CVE-2020-5958"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"An issue was discovered in SdLegacySmm in Insyde InsydeH2O with kernel 5.1 before 05.15.11, 5.2 before 05.25.11, 5.3 before 05.34.11, and 5.4 before 05.42.11.","id":"CVE-2020-5956"},"products":["NVIDIA GPU Display Driver"],"published":"2020-03-05","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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-04","vendors":["NVIDIA"]},"summary":"A local attacker can corrupt system files via the NVIDIA Control Panel, leading to privilege escalation or denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5957/"}
