NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nvidia-graphics-drivers-390 package and not the nvidia-graphics-drivers-390 package as distributed by Ubuntu.

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.
