A display driver installed on the remote Windows host is affected by a vulnerability:

  • NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgkDdiEscape, where a failure to properly validate data might allow an attacker with basic user capabilities to cause an out-of-bounds access in kernel mode, which could lead to denial of service, information disclosure, escalation of privileges, or data tampering. (CVE-2022-31606)

  • NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys), where a local user with basic capabilities can cause an out-of-bounds write, which may lead to code execution, denial of service, escalation of privileges, information disclosure, or data tampering. (CVE-2022-31610)

  • NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgkDdiEscape, where a local user with basic capabilities can cause an out-of-bounds read, which may lead to a system crash or a leak of internal kernel information. (CVE-2022-31612)

  • NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer, where any local user can cause a null-pointer dereference, which may lead to a kernel panic. (CVE-2022-31613)

  • NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgkDdiEscape, where a local user with basic capabilities can cause an out-of-bounds read, which may lead to denial of service, or information disclosure. (CVE-2022-31616)

  • NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys), where a local user with basic capabilities can cause an out-of-bounds read, which may lead to code execution, denial of service, escalation of privileges, information disclosure, or data tampering. (CVE-2022-31617)

  • NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer, where a local user with basic capabilities can cause a null-pointer dereference, which may lead to denial of service. (CVE-2022-34665)

  • NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer, where a local user with basic capabilities can cause a null-pointer dereference, which may lead to denial of service. (CVE-2022-34666)

Note that Nessus has not attempted to exploit these issues but has instead relied only on the driver’s self-reported version number.
