NVIDIA Virtual GPU Manager contains a vulnerability in the vGPU plugin in which guest-supplied parameters remain writable by the guest after the plugin has validated them, which may lead to the guest being able to pass invalid parameters to plugin handlers, which may lead to denial of service or escalation of privileges. This affects vGPU version 8.x (prior to 8.5), version 10.x (prior to 10.4) and version 11.0.

Weakness

The product does not properly “clean up” and remove temporary or supporting resources after they have been used.
