Security News > 2021 > January > Nvidia Squashes High-Severity Jetson DoS Flaw

Nvidia has patched three vulnerabilities affecting its Jetson lineup, which is a series of embedded computing boards designed for machine-learning applications, in things like autonomous robots, drones and more.

A successful exploit could potentially cripple any such gadgets leveraging the affected Jetson products, said Nvidia.

It specifically exists in the Nvidia Linux Driver Package, the board support package for Jetson products.

Specific Jetson products affected include the Jetson TX1 and TX2 series; which are two low-power embedded computing boards that carry a Nvidia Tegra processor and are specifically designed for accelerating machine learning in systems.

Also affected are the Jetson AGX Xavier series, a developer kit that's essentially an artificial intelligence computer for autonomous machines; the Jetson Xavier NX developer kit; and the Jetson Nano and Jetson Nano 2GB developer kits.

Last week, Nvidia newly disclosed three security vulnerabilities in the NVIDIA Shield TV, which could allow denial of service, escalation of privileges and data loss.
