Descriptions

For the NVIDIA Quadro, NVS, and GeForce products, NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver R340 before 342.00 and R375 before 375.63 contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgDdiEscape ID 0x10000e9 where a value is passed from an user to the driver is used without validation as the size input to memcpy() causing a stack buffer overflow, leading to denial of service or potential escalation of privileges.

Para los productos NVIDIA Quadro, NVS y GeForce, NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver R340 en versiones anteriores a 342.00 y R375 en versiones anteriores a 375.63 contiene una vulnerabilidad en el controlador de la capa de modo del kernel (nvlddmkm.sys) para DxgDdiEscape ID 0x10000e9 donde un valor pasado de un usuario al controlador es utilizado sin validación al tiempo que el tamaño de la entrada a memcpy() provoca un desbordamiento de búfer basado en pila, conduciendo a una denegación de servicio o potencial escalada de privilegios.

The escape handler for 0x10000e9 lacks bounds checks, and passes a user specified size as the size to memcpy, resulting in a stack buffer overflow.
