🛡️ CVE-2023-0194 — virtual-gpu

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached with physical access to the device, attack complexity is high, an attacker needs no privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality none, integrity none, availability low.

CVSS metrics in full

The score comes from this vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L

• Attack vector: Physical — the attacker has to touch the device.
• Attack complexity: High — the attacker first has to win a race, learn a secret or otherwise prepare the target.
• Privileges required: None — an unauthenticated stranger can try it.
• User interaction: None — nobody has to be tricked into anything.
• Scope: Unchanged — the damage stays inside the vulnerable component.
• Confidentiality impact: None.
• Integrity impact: None.
• Availability impact: Low — limited, and the attacker does not choose what is affected.
