Synopsis

A display driver installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of the NVIDIA GPU display driver installed on the remote Windows host is 34x.x prior to 342.00, 367.x prior to 369.73, 367.x prior to 369.71 (GRID), or 375.x prior to 375.63. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - Multiple privilege escalation vulnerabilities exist in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgDdiEscape due to a NULL pointer dereference flaw. A local attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or an escalation of privileges.
 (CVE-2016-8813, CVE-2016-8814)

 - Multiple privilege escalation vulnerabilities exist in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgDdiEscape due to improper validation of user-supplied input used for the index to an array. A local attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or an escalation of privileges. (CVE-2016-8815, CVE-2016-8815)

 - A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgDdiEscape due to improper validation of user-supplied input to the memcpy() function. A local attacker can exploit this to cause a buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service condition or an escalation of privileges. (CVE-2016-8817)

 - A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgDdiEscape due to improper validation of user-supplied input. A local attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or an escalation of privileges. (CVE-2016-8818)

 - A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgDdiEscape due to improper handling of objects in memory. A local attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or an escalation of privileges. (CVE-2016-8819)

 - A flaw exists in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgDdiEscape due to a failure to check a function return value. A local attacker can exploit this to disclose sensitive information or cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-8820)

Solution

Upgrade the NVIDIA graphics driver to version 342.00 / 369.73 / 369.71 (GRID) / 375.63 or later.
