NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer where improper cleanup of reference counts during error paths could lead to a use-after-free condition. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to code execution, denial of service, escalation of privileges, information disclosure, and data tampering.

CVE-2026-47500 [HIGH] CWE-825 nvidia-driver: nvidia-driver: arbitrary code execution via use-after-free in kernel mode layer
nvidia-driver: nvidia-driver: arbitrary code execution via use-after-free in kernel mode layer
A flaw was found in nvidia-driver. The kernel mode layer fails to properly clean up memory reference counts during error recovery paths, leading to a use-after-free condition where memory is accessed after it has been released. A local attacker with standard user privileges could exploit this flaw to execute arbitrary code, escalate privileges, or cause a denial of service (DoS).
