CVE-2022-28192 is a vulnerability discovered in NVIDIA vGPU software, specifically affecting the Virtual GPU Manager (nvidia.ko) component. The vulnerability was disclosed in May 2022 and involves a use-after-free condition that could potentially lead to denial of service. The affected systems include various NVIDIA vGPU software versions running on Citrix Hypervisor, VMware vSphere, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux KVM platforms (NVIDIA Bulletin).
The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 4.1 (AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H). The technical nature of the vulnerability involves a use-after-free condition in the Virtual GPU Manager. The attack complexity is considered high because the attacker needs to have control over freeing some host side resources out of sequence, which requires elevated privileges (NVIDIA Bulletin).
If successfully exploited, this vulnerability may cause denial of service to the affected system. The impact is somewhat limited due to the high complexity of the attack and the requirement for elevated privileges (NVIDIA Bulletin).
NVIDIA has released security updates to address this vulnerability. The fixes are available in vGPU software versions 14.1 (510.73.06), 13.3 (470.129.04), and 11.8 (450.191) for the Virtual GPU Manager component. Users are recommended to upgrade to these versions or later. No other mitigations are available, and NVIDIA recommends updating to the patched versions (NVIDIA Bulletin).
