CVE-2026-21736 (GCVE-0-2026-21736)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-03-09 12:23 – Updated: 2026-03-09 16:06

Title

GPU DDK - Insufficient permission check in PhysmemWrapExtMem() when write attribute support enabled

Summary

Software installed and run as a non-privileged user may conduct improper GPU system calls to gain write permission to read-only wrapped user-mode memory. This is caused by improper handling of the memory protections for the user-mode wrapped memory resource.

Severity ?

4.4 (Medium)
