NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit Out-of-Bounds Read Vulnerability in nvdisasm Binary

A vulnerability allowing an out-of-bounds read has been identified in the NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit's nvdisasm binary, present in all versions prior to 12.8. This issue arises when a user passes a malformed ELF file to nvdisasm, potentially leading to a partial denial-of-service condition.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability causes an out-of-bounds read, which can lead to memory access violations and potentially allow for further exploitation, depending on the context.

Remediation
