CVE-2025-23281 is a use-after-free vulnerability in the NVIDIA GPU Display Driver. According to the provided content, the flaw is triggered by a race condition in concurrent memory handling: one thread or process frees a memory object while another still references it, causing the driver to access memory after it has been freed. An attacker with local unprivileged access who can reliably win this race may be able to influence reuse of the freed memory region and exploit the condition. The vulnerability is described as affecting Windows NVIDIA GPU Display Driver deployments, with the supplied supporting content also noting affected NVIDIA driver branches prior to fixed releases on both Windows and Linux.
