Descriptions

The accelerated rendering functionality of NVIDIA Binary Graphics Driver (binary blob driver) For Linux v8774 and v8762, and probably on other operating systems, allows local and remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a large width value in a font glyph, which can be used to overwrite arbitrary memory locations.

La funcionalidad de interpretación acelerada del Controlador de Gráficos Binarios NVIDIA (controlador de blob binario) para Linux v8774 y v8762, y posiblemente en otros sistemas operativos, permite a atacantes locales y remotos ejecutar código de su elección mediante un valor de ancho grande en un símbolo de una fuente, lo cual puede ser usado para sobreescribir localizaciones de memoria de su elección.
