CVE-2023-31017

Status: ModifiedHigh (7.8)—

NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows contains a vulnerability where an attacker may be able to write arbitrary data to privileged locations by using reparse points. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to code execution, denial of service, escalation of privileges, information disclosure, or data tampering.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
