CVE-2017-0349
HighSummary
All versions of the NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver contain a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgkDdiEscape where a pointer passed from a user to the driver is not correctly validated before it is dereferenced for a write operation.
Risk Assessment
This vulnerability may lead to denial of service or potential escalation of privileges, posing a security threat to the system.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update the NVIDIA GPU driver to the latest version to mitigate this vulnerability.
