NVIDIA Virtual GPU Manager contains a vulnerability in the vGPU plugin in which it may have the use-after-free vulnerability while freeing some resources, which may lead to denial of service, code execution, and information disclosure. This affects vGPU version 8.x (prior to 8.5), version 10.x (prior to 10.4) and version 11.0.

Weakness

The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory “belongs” to the code that operates on the new pointer.
