Synopsis

A display driver installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

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

 - An unspecified vulnerability exists in the kernel mode layer (nvvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgkDdiEscape due to improper synchronization of shared data. An authenticated, local attacker can exploit this, to cause a denial of service, gain elevated privileges or to disclose potentially sensitive information. (CVE-2019-5675)

 - A binary planting vulnerability exists due to improper path or signature validation. An authenticated, local attacker can exploit this, via code execution to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2019-5676)

 - A memory corruption vulnerability exists in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DeviceIoControl. An authenticated, local attacker can exploit this, to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2019-5677)

Solution

Upgrade the NVIDIA graphics driver in accordance with the vendor advisory.
