NVIDIA GeForce Experience < 3.24.0.126 Local Privilege Escalation

high Nessus Plugin ID 157125

Language:

Synopsis

A GPU companion application installed on the remote Windows host is affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability.

Description

NVIDIA GeForce Experience, all versions prior to 3.24.0.126, contain a vulnerability in user authorization, where GameStream does not correctly apply individual access controls for users on the same device, which, with user intervention, may lead to escalation of privileges, information disclosure, data tampering and denial of service, affecting other resources beyond the intended security of GameStream.

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 3.24.0.126 or later.
