Synopsis

The NVIDIA GPU display driver software on the remote Windows host is missing a vendor-supplied patch.

Description

A display driver installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including:

- NVIDIA GPU display driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability where data is written past the end or before the beginning of a buffer. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to information disclosure, denial of service, or data tampering. (CVE-2024-0150)

- NVIDIA GPU display driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability where referencing memory after it has been freed can lead to denial of service or data tampering. (CVE-2024-0147)

- NVIDIA GPU kernel driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability where a potential user-mode attacker could read a buffer with an incorrect length. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to denial of service.
(CVE-2024-0131)

Note that Nessus has not attempted to exploit these issues but has instead relied only on the driver's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the NVIDIA graphics driver in accordance with the vendor advisory.
