Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS : NVIDIA graphics drivers vulnerabilities (USN-5019-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 151837

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5019-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that an assert() could be triggered in the NVIDIA graphics drivers. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2021-1093)

 It was discovered that the NVIDIA graphics drivers permitted an out-of-bounds array access. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly expose sensitive information.
 (CVE-2021-1094)

 It was discovered that the NVIDIA graphics drivers contained a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer where they did not properly control calls with embedded parameters in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.

 (CVE-2021-1095)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
