Descriptions

NVIDIA GeForce Experience, all versions prior to 3.22, contains a vulnerability in GameStream plugins where log files are created using NT/System level permissions, which may lead to code execution, denial of service, or local privilege escalation. The attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification nor would they be able to leak information as a direct result of the overwrite.

NVIDIA GeForce Experience, en todas las versiones anteriores a la 3.22, contiene una vulnerabilidad en los plugins GameStream en la que los archivos de registro se crean utilizando permisos de nivel NT/System, lo que puede conducir a la ejecución de código, la denegación de servicio o la escalada de privilegios local. El atacante no tiene control sobre la consecuencia de una modificación ni podría filtrar información como resultado directo de la sobreescritura
