CVE-2026-47517
Status: Awaiting AnalysisMedium (5.5)—
NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode driver where a local user may cause a null pointer dereference by submitting a crafted ioctl. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to denial of service.
CVSS
- Version: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
- Base score: 5.5
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.11%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 1
- Score date: 10/5/2026
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).
