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-2021-1118 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Nvidia Virtual Gpu. 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-2021-1118/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-1118/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-1118","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-1118/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-1118","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-753r-rggq-c233"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_read","data_modify","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"NVIDIA vGPU software","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Guest OS users can execute privileged operations in NVIDIA vGPU software, leading to privilege escalation, data tampering, and denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"nvidia","cpe":[{"product":"virtual_gpu","vendor":"nvidia"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","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-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"},{"id":"CWE-250","name":"Execution with Unnecessary Privileges"}],"description":"NVIDIA vGPU software contains a vulnerability in the Virtual GPU Manager (vGPU plugin), where there is the potential to execute privileged operations by the guest OS, which may lead to information disclosure, data tampering, escalation of privileges, and 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":"Privilege escalation in NVIDIA Virtual GPU Software","id":"CVE-2021-1118","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"nvidia:virtual_gpu","products":["nvidia:virtual_gpu"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Use after free in NVIDIA Virtual GPU Software","id":"CVE-2021-1119"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in NVIDIA GPU Display Driver","id":"CVE-2021-1117"},"products":["NVIDIA Virtual GPU Software"],"published":"2021-10-29","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in vGPU software (guest driver - Linux), NVIDIA Cloud Gaming (guest driver - Linux)","id":"CVE-2023-0189","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-04-01"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"CVE","id":"CVE-2023-31027","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-02"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"CVE","id":"CVE-2023-31017","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-02"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"CVE","id":"CVE-2023-31019","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-02"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in vGPU software (guest driver - Windows), NVIDIA Cloud Gaming (guest driver - Windows)","id":"CVE-2023-0182","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-04-01"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Missing authorization in NVIDIA Virtual GPU Software and NVIDIA Cloud Gaming","id":"CVE-2022-31609","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-05"}],"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":"Guest OS users can execute privileged operations in NVIDIA vGPU software, leading to privilege escalation, data tampering, and denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-1118/"}
