CVE-2026-47566 [MEDIUM] CWE-772 nvidia-driver: nvidia-driver: Denial of Service via kernel memory leak
nvidia-driver: nvidia-driver: Denial of Service via kernel memory leak
A flaw was found in nvidia-driver. An unprivileged local attacker can trigger specific error-handling routines in the kernel-mode driver layer, causing memory to leak instead of being freed. Over time, this memory exhaustion can destabilize the operating system and result in a Denial of Service (DoS).
