CVE Description Base Score Vector
CVE‑2018‑6269 NVIDIA Tegra kernel driver contains a vulnerability in input/output control (IOCTL) handling for user mode requests in which a non-trusted pointer dereference may be made, which may lead to information disclosure, denial of service, escalation of privileges, or code execution. 8.8 AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
CVE‑2017‑6278 NVIDIA Tegra kernel contains a vulnerability in the CORE dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) thermal driver in which there is the potential to read or write a buffer using an index or pointer that references a memory location after the end of the buffer, which may lead to a denial of service or escalation of privileges. 8.4 AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
CVE‑2018‑6267 NVIDIA Tegra OpenMax driver (libnvomx) contains a vulnerability in which a missing user metadata check may allow invalid metadata to pass as valid metadata, which may lead to a denial of service or escalation of privileges. 8.4 AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
CVE‑2018‑6271 NVIDIA Tegra OpenMax driver (libnvomx) contains a vulnerability in which input is invalid or erroneously validated and could affect the control flow or data flow of a program, which may lead to denial of service or escalation of privileges. 8.4 AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
CVE‑2019‑5673 NVIDIA Tegra kernel driver contains a vulnerability in the ARM System Memory Management Unit (SMMU) in which an improper check for a fault condition causes transactions to be discarded, which may lead to denial of service. 7.9 AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:H
CVE‑2018‑6268 NVIDIA Tegra OpenMax driver (libnvomx) contains a vulnerability in libnvmmlite_video.so, in which referencing memory after it has been freed may lead to denial of service or escalation of privileges. 7.8 AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
CVE‑2017‑6284 NVIDIA Security Engine contains a vulnerability in the Deterministic Random Bit Generator (DRBG) in which the data may not be properly initialized, which may lead to information disclosure. 7.1 AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N
CVE‑2017‑0330 NVIDIA Tegra kernel contains a vulnerability in NVIDIA crypto driver in which a pointer passed from a user to the driver is not correctly validated which may lead to denial of service or escalation of privileges.

AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H
CVE‑2019‑5672 NVIDIA Linux for Tegra (L4T) contains a vulnerability in which the Secure Shell (SSH) keys provided in the sample rootfs are not replaced by unique host keys after sample rootsfs generation and flashing, which may lead to information disclosure. 6.8 AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N
CVE‑2017‑6274 NVIDIA Tegra kernel contains a vulnerability in the CORE dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) thermal driver in which there is the potential to read or write a buffer using an index or pointer that references a memory location after the end of the buffer, which may lead to a denial of service or escalation of privileges. 6.7

AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

CVE‑2018‑3665 NVIDIA Tegra TX2 contains a vulnerability, which through the use of speculative execution, may disclose register contents in an unauthorized manner which may lead to information disclosure. 5.6 AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N
CVE‑2018‑6239 NVIDIA Tegra TX2 contains a vulnerability by means of speculative execution where local and unprivileged code may access the contents of cached information in an unauthorized manner, which may lead to information disclosure. 5.6 AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N
CVE‑2018‑3639 Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and speculative execution of memory reads before the addresses of all prior memory writes are known may allow unauthorized disclosure of information to an attacker with local user access via a side-channel analysis, aka Speculative Store Bypass (SSB), Variant 4. 4.3 AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N
