Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the NVIDIA GPU display driver. A local unprivileged user can trigger an integer overflow in the driver's kernel mode layer, leading to an out-of-bounds memory write. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code, escalate privileges, cause a denial of service (DoS), or tamper with sensitive data.
