Debian DLA-2888-1 : nvidia-graphics-drivers - LTS security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 156794

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-2888 advisory.

- NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Linux, all versions, contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvidia.ko) in which it does not completely honor operating system file system permissions to provide GPU device-level isolation, which may lead to denial of service or information disclosure. (CVE-2021-1056)

- NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux, all versions, contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys or nvidia.ko) where improper access control may lead to denial of service, information disclosure, or data corruption. (CVE-2021-1076)

- NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability in firmware where the driver contains an assert() or similar statement that can be triggered by an attacker, which leads to an application exit or other behavior that is more severe than necessary, and may lead to denial of service or system crash. (CVE-2021-1093)

- NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgkDdiEscape where an out of bounds array access may lead to denial of service or information disclosure. (CVE-2021-1094)

- NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handlers for all control calls with embedded parameters where dereferencing an untrusted pointer may lead to denial of service. (CVE-2021-1095)

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

Solution

Upgrade the nvidia-graphics-drivers packages.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 390.144-1~deb9u1.
