What it is about
NVidia ist ein Hersteller von Grafikkarten. Ein lokaler Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in Nvidia GPU Treiber ausnutzen, um einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand zu verursachen, vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen, seine Privilegien zu erweitern, Daten zu manipulieren und beliebigen Code auszuführen.
Under what conditions?
Only with access to the device or an account on it. Often the second step after a phishing email.
What can happen in the worst case
An attacker could use the vulnerability to
- einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand zu verursachen
- vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen
- seine Privilegien zu erweitern
- Daten zu manipulieren
- beliebigen Code auszuführen
