NVIDIA nvJPEG: JPEG OOB Read via Integer Overflow
CVE-2025-23274 Published on September 24, 2025
NVIDIA nvJPEG contains a vulnerability in jpeg encoding where a user may cause an out-of-bounds read by providing a maliciously crafted input image with dimensions that cause integer overflows in array index calculations. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to denial of service.
Vulnerability Analysis
CVE-2025-23274 is exploitable with local system access, and requires small amount of user privileges. This vulnerability is consided to have a high level of attack complexity. The potential impact of an exploit of this vulnerability is considered to be low. considered to have a small impact on confidentiality and integrity and 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.
