NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nvidia-graphics-drivers-tesla-470 package and not the nvidia-graphics-drivers-tesla-470 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

NVIDIA vGPU software contains a vulnerability in the Virtual GPU Manager (nvidia.ko), where it may lead to a use-after-free, which in turn may cause denial of service. This attack is complex to carry out because the attacker needs to have control over freeing some host side resources out of sequence, which requires elevated privileges.
