NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver 375.x < 376.67 / 378.x < 378.52 Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 97386

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 375.x prior to 376.67 or 378.x prior to 378.52.
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- Multiple overflow conditions exist in the kernel mode layer handler (nvlddmkm.sys) for DxgkDdiEscape due to a failure to properly calculate the input buffer size. A local attacker can exploit these to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
(CVE-2017-0308, CVE-2017-0324)

- 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)

- An overflow condition exists in the kernel mode layer handler for DxgDdiEscape ID 0x100008B due to improper validation of input before setting the limits for a loop. A local attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or potentially gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2017-0312)

- Multiple out-of-bounds write flaws exist within the DxgkDdiSubmitCommandVirtual() function in the kernel mode layer handler due to improper validation of certain size and length values. A local attacker can exploit these to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-0313, CVE-2017-0314)

- A flaw exists in the kernel mode layer handler for DxgkDdiEscape due to accessing an invalid object pointer that allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-0315)

- A flaw exists in the NVIDIA GPU and GeForce Experience Installer due to improper file permissions on the package extraction path. A local attacker can exploit this to manipulate extracted files and thereby potentially gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2017-0317)

- Multiple flaws exist in the kernel mode layer handler due to improper handling of unspecified values that allow a local attacker to cause a denial of service condition.
(CVE-2017-0319, CVE-2017-0320)

- Multiple NULL pointer dereference flaws exist in the kernel mode layer handler due to improper validation of certain input. A local attacker can exploit these to cause a denial of service condition or potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-0321, CVE-2017-0323)

- An array-indexing error 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 gain elevated privileges.
(CVE-2017-0322)

Solution

Upgrade the NVIDIA graphics driver to version 376.67 / 378.52 or later.
