Last modified

CVE-2022-28192 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.1/10 on the CVSS scale. 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.. EPSS estimates a 0.22% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
