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-2021-1090 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-2021-1090/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-1090/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-1090","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-1090/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-1090","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2hxf-vvc6-4wwp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"NVIDIA GPU Driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An out-of-bounds write in the NVIDIA GPU driver kernel mode layer allows attackers to tamper with data or cause a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"nvidia","cpe":[{"product":"gpu_display_driver","vendor":"nvidia"}],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-120","name":"Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input"}],"description":"NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for control calls where the software reads or writes to a buffer by using an index or pointer that references a memory location after the end of the buffer, which may lead to data tampering or 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":"Memory corruption in NVIDIA GPU Display Driver","id":"CVE-2021-1090","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"nvidia:gpu_display_driver","products":["nvidia:gpu_display_driver"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in NVIDIA GPU Display Driver","id":"CVE-2021-1091"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in NVIDIA GPU Display Driver","id":"CVE-2021-1089"},"products":["NVIDIA GPU Display Driver"],"published":"2021-07-22","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Use after free in GeForce","id":"CVE-2026-24187","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-26"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in NVIDIA GPU Display Driver","id":"CVE-2023-0184","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-04-22"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows","id":"CVE-2022-34671","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-12-30"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in NVIDIA GPU Display Driver","id":"CVE-2022-28181","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-05-17"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in NVIDIA GPU Display Driver","id":"CVE-2022-28182","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-05-17"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in GeForce","id":"CVE-2026-24190","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-26"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Race condition in GeForce","id":"CVE-2026-24191","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-26"}],"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":"2024-08-03","vendors":["NVIDIA"]},"summary":"An out-of-bounds write in the NVIDIA GPU driver kernel mode layer allows attackers to tamper with data or cause a denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-1090/"}
