Patches released by NVIDIA last week for the GeForce Experience software address two arbitrary code execution bugs assessed with a severity rating of high.
The GeForce Experience software is a companion application that is being installed alongside NVIDIA's GeForce drivers.
An attacker able to exploit the flaw could execute code in the context of the vulnerable software, could cause denial of service, escalate privileges, or access restricted information, NVIDIA notes in an advisory.
A third vulnerability patched with the new release is CVE‑2020‑5978, identified in the GeForce Experience services.
All three vulnerabilities, NVIDIA explains, impact GeForce Experience versions prior to 3.20.5.70.
