+ <background>
+ <p>The NVIDIA drivers provide X11 and GLX support for NVIDIA graphic
+ boards.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in NVIDIA drivers:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>A vulnerability has been found in the way NVIDIA drivers handle
+ read/write access to GPU device nodes, allowing access to arbitrary
+ system memory locations (CVE-2012-4225).
+ </li>
+ <li>A buffer overflow error has been discovered in NVIDIA drivers
+ (CVE-2013-0131).
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>NOTE: Exposure to CVE-2012-4225 is reduced in Gentoo due to 660
+ permissions being used on the GPU device nodes by default.
+ </p>

+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All NVIDIA driver users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose
+ "&gt;=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-304.88"
+ </code>
