Summary
NVIDIA GPU and Tegra hardware contain a vulnerability in the internal microcontroller, which may allow a user with elevated privileges to instantiate a DMA write operation only within a specific time window timed to corrupt code execution, which may impact confidentiality, integrity, or availability. The scope impact may extend to other components.
Exploit prediction
0.31% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 24% of all scored CVEs (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-08).
