NVIDIA GPU DISPLAY DRIVER
| CVE ID | Description | Base Score | Vector |
|---|---|---|---|
| CVE‑2022‑28181 | NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer, where an unprivileged regular user on the network can cause an out-of-bounds write through a specially crafted shader, which may lead to code execution, denial of service, escalation of privileges, information disclosure, and data tampering. The scope of the impact may extend to other components. | 8.5 | AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H |
| CVE‑2022‑28182 | NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows contains a vulnerability in the DirectX11 user mode driver (nvwgf2um/x.dll), where an unauthorized attacker on the network can cause an out-of-bounds write through a specially crafted shader, which may lead to code execution to cause denial of service, escalation of privileges, information disclosure, and data tampering. The scope of the impact may extend to other components. |
8.5 | AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H |
| CVE‑2022‑28183 | NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer, where an unprivileged regular user can cause an out-of-bounds read, which may lead to denial of service and information disclosure. | 7.7 | AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H |
| CVE‑2022‑28184 | NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgkDdiEscape, where an unprivileged regular user can access administrator- privileged registers, which may lead to denial of service, information disclosure, and data tampering. | 7.1 | |
|
CVE‑2022‑28185 |
NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability in the ECC layer, where an unprivileged regular user can cause an out-of-bounds write, which may lead to denial of service and data tampering. | 6.8 | AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H |

6.1 | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H |
| CVE‑2022‑28187 | NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys), where the memory management software does not release a resource after its effective lifetime has ended, which may lead to denial of service. |
5.5 | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H |
| CVE‑2022‑28188 |
NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer ( |

| CVE‑2022‑28189 | NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgkDdiEscape, where a NULL pointer dereference may lead to a system crash. |
5.5 | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H |
| CVE‑2022‑28190 | NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgkDdiEscape, where improper input validation can cause denial of service. | 5.5 | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H |
NVIDIA VGPU SOFTWARE
| CVE ID | Description | Base Score | Vector |
|---|---|---|---|
| CVE‑2022‑28191 | NVIDIA vGPU software contains a vulnerability in the Virtual GPU Manager (nvidia.ko), where uncontrolled resource consumption can be triggered by an unprivileged regular user, which may lead to denial of service. |
5.5 | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H |
| CVE‑2022‑28192 | NVIDIA vGPU software contains a vulnerability in the Virtual GPU Manager (nvidia.ko), where it may lead to a use-after-free, which in turn may cause denial of service. This attack is complex to carry out because the attacker needs to have control over freeing some host side resources out of sequence, which requires elevated privileges. |
