Synopsis

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

Description

The version of the NVIDIA GPU display driver installed on the remote Linux host is 304.x prior to 304.135, 340.x prior to 340.102, 361.x prior to 361.119, 375.x prior to 375.39, or 378.x prior to 378.13.
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - Multiple integer overflow conditions exist in the kernel mode layer handler that allow a local attacker to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-0309)

 - A flaw exists in the kernel mode layer handler due to improper access controls that allows a local attacker to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2017-0310)

 - A flaw exists in the kernel mode layer handler due to improper access controls that allows a local attacker to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-0311)

 - A flaw exists in the kernel mode layer handler due to improper validation of an input parameter. A local attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2017-0318)

 - A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in the kernel mode layer handler due to improper validation of certain input. A local attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-0321)

Solution

Upgrade the NVIDIA graphics driver to version 304.135 / 340.102 / 361.119 / 375.39 / 378.13 or later in accordance with the vendor advisory.
