The NVIDIA GPU display driver software on the remote host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  • NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for WIndows and Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode data handler, where an unprivileged regular user can cause integer overflow, which may lead to denial of service, information disclosure, and data tampering. (CVE-2022-42665)

  • NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Linux contains a vulnerability where an attacker may access a memory location after the end of the buffer. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to denial of service and data tampering. (CVE-2024-0074)

  • NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability where a user may cause a NULL-pointer dereference by accessing passed parameters the validity of which has not been checked. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to denial of service and limited information disclosure. (CVE-2024-0075)

  • NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer, where a user in a guest can cause a NULL-pointer dereference in the host, which may lead to denial of service. (CVE-2024-0078)

Note that Nessus has not tested for the issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
