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-2020-5991 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit. 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-2020-5991/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5991/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-5991","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5991/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-5991","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2020-5991","GHSA-j4xv-pxpf-xq6x","UBUNTU-CVE-2020-5991"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service","data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An out-of-bounds read or write in the NVJPEG library allows attackers to execute code, cause denial of service, or disclose information.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"nvidia","cpe":[{"product":"cuda_toolkit","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":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"},{"id":"CWE-125","name":"Out-of-bounds Read"}],"description":"NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit, all versions prior to 11.1.1, contains a vulnerability in the NVJPEG library in which an out-of-bounds read or write operation may lead to code execution, denial of service, or information disclosure.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Memory corruption in NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit","id":"CVE-2020-5991","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Other in NVIDIA GeForce NOW Application","id":"CVE-2020-5992"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in NVIDIA GeForce Experience Software","id":"CVE-2020-5990"},"products":["NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit"],"published":"2020-10-30","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Integer overflow in NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit","id":"CVE-2022-21821","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-03-29"},{"cvss_score":7.3,"headline":"Command injection in CUDA Toolkit","id":"CVE-2025-33228","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-01-20"},{"cvss_score":7.3,"headline":"Code injection in CUDA Toolkit","id":"CVE-2025-33229","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-01-20"},{"cvss_score":7.3,"headline":"Command injection in CUDA Toolkit","id":"CVE-2025-33230","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-01-20"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Other in CUDA Toolkit","id":"CVE-2025-33231","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-01-20"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit","id":"CVE-2023-25512","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-04-22"}],"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 out-of-bounds read or write in the NVJPEG library allows attackers to execute code, cause denial of service, or disclose information.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5991/"}
