CUDA Toolkit cuobjdump OOB Read via Malformed ELF Leading to Unprivileged DoS
CVE-2024-0109 Published on August 31, 2024
NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit contains a vulnerability in command `cuobjdump` where a user may cause a crash by passing in a malformed ELF file. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may cause an out of bounds read in the unprivileged process memory which could lead to a limited denial of service.
Vulnerability Analysis
CVE-2024-0109 can be exploited with local system access, requires user interaction. This vulnerability is considered to have a low attack complexity. The potential impact of an exploit of this vulnerability is considered to have no impact on confidentiality and integrity, and a small impact on availability.
Weakness Type
Out-of-bounds Read
The software reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer. Typically, this can allow attackers to read sensitive information from other memory locations or cause a crash. A crash can occur when the code reads a variable amount of data and assumes that a sentinel exists to stop the read operation, such as a NUL in a string. The expected sentinel might not be located in the out-of-bounds memory, causing excessive data to be read, leading to a segmentation fault or a buffer overflow. The software may modify an index or perform pointer arithmetic that references a memory location that is outside of the boundaries of the buffer. A subsequent read operation then produces undefined or unexpected results.
