NVIDIA Container Toolkit for all platforms contains a vulnerability in some hooks used to initialize the container, where an attacker could execute arbitrary code with elevated permissions. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to escalation of privileges, data tampering, information disclosure, and denial of service.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of NVIDIA Container Toolkit. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute code within a container in order to exploit this vulnerability. The ZDI has assigned a CVSS rating of 9.0. The following CVEs are assigned: CVE-2025-23359.

The following CVEs are assigned: CVE-2025-23359.
NVIDIA Container Toolkit for Linux contains a Time-of-Check Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) vulnerability when used with default configuration, where a crafted container image could gain access to the host file system. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to code execution, denial of service, escalation of privileges, information disclosure, and data tampering.
NVIDIA Container Toolkit contains an improper isolation vulnerability where a specially crafted container image could lead to untrusted code running in the host’s network namespace. This vulnerability is present only when the NVIDIA Container Toolkit is configured in a nondefault way. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to denial of service and escalation of privileges.
NVIDIA Container Toolkit contains an improper isolation vulnerability where a specially crafted container image could lead to untrusted code obtaining read and write access to host devices. This vulnerability is present only when the NVIDIA Container Toolkit is configured in a nondefault way. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to code execution, denial of service, escalation of privileges, information disclosure, and data tampering.
NVIDIA Container Toolkit contains an improper isolation vulnerability where a specially crafted container image could lead to modification of a host binary. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to code execution, denial of service, escalation of privileges, information disclosure, and data tampering.
NVIDIA Container Toolkit and NVIDIA GPU Operator for Linux contain a UNIX vulnerability where a specially crafted container image can lead to the creation of unauthorized files on the host. The name and location of the files cannot be controlled by an attacker. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to data tampering.
NVIDIA Container Toolkit 1.16.1 or earlier contains a Time-of-check Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) vulnerability when used with default configuration where a specifically crafted container image may gain access to the host file system. This does not impact use cases where CDI is used. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to code execution, denial of service, escalation of privileges, information disclosure, and data tampering.
