Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in NVIDIA GPU Display Driver (Hardware Driver Software) (version now known). It has been rated as critical. This issue affects some unknown processing of the component Kernel Mode Layer. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a integer overflow vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-190. The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound, when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This can introduce other weaknesses when the calculation is used for resource management or execution control. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

All versions of NVIDIA GPU Display Driver contain a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer handler where multiple integer overflows may cause improper memory allocation leading to a denial of service or potential escalation of privileges.

The bug was discovered 02/15/2017. The weakness was shared 02/15/2017 (Website). It is possible to read the advisory at nvidia.custhelp.com. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2017-0309 since 11/23/2016. Attacking locally is a requirement. No form of authentication is needed for a successful exploitation. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not publicly available.
