The NVIDIA drivers provide X11 and GLX support for NVIDIA graphic + boards. +

+
+ +

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. +

+ +

NOTE: Exposure to this vulnerability is reduced in Gentoo due to 660 + permissions being used on the GPU device nodes by default. +

+
+ +

A local attacker could gain escalated privileges.

+
+ +

There is no known workaround at this time.

+
+ +

All NVIDIA driver users should upgrade to the latest version:
