The NVIDIA GPU display driver software on the remote host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer   (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgkDdiEscape or IOCTL in which user-mode clients can access legacy privileged   APIs, which may lead to denial of service, escalation of privileges, and information disclosure. (CVE‑2021‑1052)   
  - NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys)   handler for DxgkDdiEscape or IOCTL in which improper validation of a user pointer may lead to denial of   service. (CVE‑2021‑1053)

Note that Nessus has not tested for the issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

A display driver installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities:
    
    - NVIDIA GPU Display Driver contains a vulnerability in the NVIDIA Control Panel component, in which an     attacker with local system access can corrupt a system file, which may lead to denial of service or     escalation of privileges (CVE-2020-5962).

    - NVIDIA CUDA Driver contains a vulnerability in the Inter Process Communication APIs, in which improper      access control may lead to code execution, denial of service, or information disclosure (CVE-2020-5963).
