The host memory mapping path feature in the NVIDIA GPU graphics driver R346 before 346.87 and R352 before 352.41 for Linux and R352 before 352.46 for GRID vGPU and vSGA does not properly restrict access to third-party device IO memory, which allows attackers to gain privileges, cause a denial of service (resource consumption), or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors related to the follow_pfn kernel-mode API call.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue affects older NVIDIA GPU drivers. A host memory mapping feature failed to properly limit access to third-party device I/O memory. A local attacker could gain higher privileges or exhaust resources, potentially disrupting systems using affected Linux or GRID virtualization driver branches. Exposure is likely limited to systems still running the named legacy NVIDIA Linux graphics drivers or GRID vGPU/vSGA stacks. Confirmed CPEs and detailed product inventory are not provided in the source bundle, so asset matching requires local driver and version evidence. Treat this as a high-priority legacy driver remediation item where affected NVIDIA GPU drivers remain in production. The main business risk is local privilege escalation or resource exhaustion on systems with GPU access, especially shared compute or virtualization environments. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected NVIDIA Linux drivers to 346.87, 352.41, or later as applicable.; Upgrade affected GRID vGPU and vSGA R352 drivers to 352.46 or later.; Check NVIDIA advisory 3802 for exact platform guidance and supported upgrade paths..
