Descriptions

All versions of NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver contain a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgDdiEscape where a check on a function return value is missing, potentially allowing an uninitialized value to be used as the source of a strcpy() call, leading to denial of service or information disclosure.

Todas las versiones de NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver contienen una vulnerabilidad en el controlador de la capa de modo kernel (nvlddmkm.sys) para DxgDdiEscape donde falta una comprobación de un valor de retorno de la función, permitiendo potencialmente que se utilice un valor no inicializado como la fuente de una llamada strcpy(), conduciendo a una denegación de servicio o divulgación de información.
