Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver 375.70 (Hardware Driver Software). Affected by this issue is the function DxgkDdiEscapeID in the library nvlddmkm.sys of the file Read/Write of the component Kernel Mode Layer. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a input validation vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-20. The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

All versions of NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver contain a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgkDdiEscapeID 0x100008b where user provided input is used as the limit for a loop may lead to denial of service or potential escalation of privileges
