CVE-2024-0112
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedNVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin™ and NVIDIA IGX Orin software contain a vulnerability where an attacker can cause an improper input validation issue by escalating certain permissions to a limited degree. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to code execution, denial of service, data corruption, information disclosure, or escalation of privilege.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceNVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin and IGX Orin edge computing platforms contain an improper input validation vulnerability that allows an attacker to escalate certain permissions to a limited degree. This could potentially lead to code execution, denial of service, data corruption, information disclosure, or further privilege escalation.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify the Jetson hardware modelRun 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' or check the device tree to confirm the hardware is Jetson AGX Orin or IGX Orin. The model information is typically visible in /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/model or via 'nvbootinfo' command if available.Affected if The device is a Jetson AGX Orin or IGX Orin platform and the installed software/firmware has not been patched to the fixed version provided by NVIDIA.
-
Check the JetPack/L4T versionRun 'cat /etc/nv_tegra_release' to obtain the installed JetPack version. Alternatively, use 'dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia' to list installed NVIDIA packages.Affected if The installed JetPack version predates the NVIDIA security update addressing CVE-2024-0112. Compare your version against NVIDIA's official advisory for the fixed release.
-
Check the system firmware versionRun 'nvbootctrl -d' or check the bootloader version via the UEFI interface. On Jetson devices, the firmware version can also be retrieved via 'tegrarcm_v2 --uid' or checking /proc/uboot_summary if available.Affected if The bootloader or firmware version is older than the version containing the CVE-2024-0112 fix as specified in NVIDIA's security bulletin.
-
Verify the vulnerable service or component is presentIdentify which NVIDIA software component contains the improper input validation flaw. Review NVIDIA's advisory for the specific service, daemon, or module affected. Check if that component is installed and running via 'systemctl list-units' or by locating its binary/config paths.Affected if The vulnerable component is installed and running, and its version matches the affected versions listed in NVIDIA's CVE-2024-0112 advisory.
The environment is affected if it runs on Jetson AGX Orin or IGX Orin hardware with software/firmware versions prior to NVIDIA's patched releases for CVE-2024-0112.
