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 0x7000170 where the size of an input buffer is not validated, 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 kernel (nvlddmkm.sys) para DxgDdiEscape ID 0x7000170 donde el tamaño de búfer entrante no es validado, conduciendo a una denegación de servicio o potencial escalada de privilegios.

The DxgkDdiEscape handler for 0x7000170 lacks proper bounds checks for the variable size input escape data, and relies on a user provided size as the upper bound for writing output.
