NVIDIA GeForce Experience < 3.21.0 DoS

high Nessus Plugin ID 146428

Language:

Synopsis

A GPU companion application installed on the remote Windows host is affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

The version of NVIDIA GeForce Experience installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 3.21.0. It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service vulnerability in GameStream (rxdiag.dll) due to improper handling of log files. An unauthenticated, local attacker can exploit this issue, where an arbitrary file deletion due to improper handling of log files may lead to denial of service.

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

Solution

Update to NVIDIA GeForce Experience version 3.21.0 or later.
