CVE-2025-23282 is a high-severity local privilege escalation vulnerability in the NVIDIA Display Driver for Linux. The flaw is in the kernel driver component, where improper synchronization allows concurrent access to shared resources without adequate locking. This race condition can create a timing window that a local attacker may exploit using multiple threads or processes. The provided content further indicates the race may lead to double-free behavior, which can in turn enable arbitrary code execution in kernel context. Affected versions include NVIDIA Linux driver branches R580 before 580.95.05, R570 before 570.195.03, and R535 before 535.274.02, across consumer, professional, and data center GPU products.
