Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS : NVIDIA graphics drivers vulnerabilities (USN-5276-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 157456

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-5276-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that the NVIDIA graphics drivers incorrectly handled permissions in the kernel mode layer. A local attacker could use this issue to write to protected memory and cause a denial of service.

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.
