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.
