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-2021-1092 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-2021-1092/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-1092/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-1092","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-1092/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-1092","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-f383-xpww-4f48"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","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 unprivileged attacker can exploit symbolic links in the NVIDIA Control Panel to overwrite privileged files, causing data loss or denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"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-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"}],"description":"NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows contains a vulnerability in the NVIDIA Control Panel application where it is susceptible to a Windows file system symbolic link attack where an unprivileged attacker can cause the applications to overwrite privileged files, resulting in potential denial of service or data loss.","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":"Path traversal in NVIDIA GPU Display Driver","id":"CVE-2021-1092","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"nvidia:gpu_display_driver","products":["nvidia:gpu_display_driver"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in NVIDIA GPU Display Driver","id":"CVE-2021-1093"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in NVIDIA GPU Display Driver","id":"CVE-2021-1091"},"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 unprivileged attacker can exploit symbolic links in the NVIDIA Control Panel to overwrite privileged files, causing data loss or denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-1092/"}
