Descriptions

The Escape interface in the Kernel Mode Driver layer in the NVIDIA GPU graphics driver R340 before 341.95 and R352 before 354.74 on Windows allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory, cause a denial of service (crash), or possibly gain privileges via unspecified vectors, which trigger uninitialized or out-of-bounds memory access.

La interfaz Escape en la capa Kernel Mode Driver en el controlador gráfico NVIDIA GPU R340 en versiones anteriores a 341.95 y R352 en versiones anteriores a 354.74 en Windows permite a usuarios locales obtener información sensible de la memoria del kernel, provocar una denegación de servicio (caída) o posiblemente obtener privilegios a través de vectores no especificados, lo que desencadena el acceso a memoria no inicializada o fuera de rango.
