NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit contains a vulnerability in the cuobjdump binary affecting ELF section parsing. According to the provided content, the flaw in cuobjdump 12.8.55 is an integer overflow caused by failure to properly validate buffer length while processing a specially crafted ELF/fatbin file. This can result in an out-of-bounds write during parsing. An attacker who can supply a malformed file to the tool may trigger a crash or achieve arbitrary code execution.

This repository is a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2025-23247, a vulnerability in NVIDIA's cuobjdump utility (see TALOS-2025-2151). The exploit demonstrates the ability to control a buffer and offset in cuobjdump by crafting a CUDA cubin file with a malicious .nv_debug_source ELF section. The main file, modify_simple.c, takes an input cubin file and appends a specially crafted section that triggers an integer overflow and buffer manipulation when processed by cuobjdump, resulting in a crash and demonstrating an arbitrary address write primitive. The repository also includes a simple CUDA kernel (simple.cu) for generating a base cubin file. The exploit is local and requires the attacker to supply a malicious file to the vulnerable utility. No network endpoints are involved; all fingerprintable endpoints are file paths and ELF section names. The code is a PoC and does not provide a weaponized payload, but it clearly demonstrates exploitability and control over the vulnerable code path.
