CVE-2026-47500

A flaw was found in nvidia-driver. The kernel mode layer fails to properly clean up memory reference counts during error recovery paths, leading to a use-after-free condition where memory is accessed after it has been released. A local attacker with standard user privileges could exploit this flaw to execute arbitrary code, escalate privileges, or cause a denial of service (DoS).
