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-2020-5961 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-2020-5961/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5961/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-5961","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5961/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-5961","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2vhp-vv3f-jj79"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"NVIDIA vGPU driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An incorrect resource cleanup in the NVIDIA vGPU driver allows attackers to cause a denial of service in the guest virtual machine.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"nvidia","cpe":[{"product":"virtual_gpu_graphics_driver","vendor":"nvidia"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-459","name":"Incomplete Cleanup"}],"description":"NVIDIA vGPU graphics driver for guest OS contains a vulnerability in which an incorrect resource clean up on a failure path can impact the guest VM, leading to denial of service.","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":"Denial of service in NVIDIA GPU Display Driver","id":"CVE-2020-5961","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in NVIDIA GPU Display Driver","id":"CVE-2020-5962"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Null dereference in NVIDIA GPU Display Driver","id":"CVE-2020-5960"},"products":["NVIDIA GPU Display Driver"],"published":"2020-03-12","related":[],"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":"2024-08-04","vendors":["NVIDIA"]},"summary":"An incorrect resource cleanup in the NVIDIA vGPU driver allows attackers to cause a denial of service in the guest virtual machine.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5961/"}
