Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the NVIDIA GPU display driver. An out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the kernel mode layer allows a local user with basic privileges to write data beyond allocated memory boundaries. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to achieve arbitrary code execution, escalate privileges, access or tamper with sensitive information, or cause a Denial of Service (DoS).
