A total of six security flaws were patched in the NVIDIA GPU display driver, all of them affecting the kernel mode layer. Also leading to denial of service are the next two flaws addressed with this set of patches, namely CVE‑2021‑1053 and CVE‑2021‑1054, NVIDIA explains in an advisory.
NVIDIA has released security updates to address six security vulnerabilities found in Windows and Linux GPU display drivers, as well as ten additional flaws affecting the NVIDIA Virtual GPU management software. NVIDIA has addressed the security issues in all affected software products and platforms with the exception of those tracked as CVE‑2021‑1052, CVE‑2021‑1053, and CVE‑2021‑1056 impacting the Linux GPU Display Driver for Tesla GPUs which will receive an update driver version starting with January 18, 2021.
In all, Nvidia patched flaws tied to 16 CVEs across its graphics drivers and vGPU software, in its first security update of 2021. Nvidia, which makes gaming-friendly graphics processing units, on Thursday fixed a slew of high-severity flaws affecting its graphics driver.
Nvidia is red-flagging a high-severity flaw in its GeForce NOW application software for Windows. An attacker on a local network can exploit the flaw in order to execute code or gain escalated privileges on affected devices.
NVIDIA released a security update for the GeForce Now cloud gaming Windows app to address a vulnerability that could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code or escalate privileges on systems running unpatched software. NVIDIA's cloud gaming service can be used by customers who own NVIDIA Shield, desktop, or mobile devices via dedicated apps.
NVIDIA on Wednesday released patches to address a total of nine vulnerabilities impacting NVIDIA DGX servers. The vulnerabilities were reported to NVIDIA by members of the SCADA StrangeLove project, which focuses on ICS/SCADA security, as part of their research into machine learning infrastructure vulnerabilities.
NVIDIA released a patch for a critical bug in its high-performance line of DGX servers that could open the door for a remote attacker to take control of and access sensitive data on systems typically operated by governments and Fortune-100 companies. During the session Gordeychik demonstrated how NVIDIA DGX GPU servers used in machine learning frameworks, data processing pipelines and applications such as medical imaging and face recognition powered CCTV - could be tampered with by an adversary.
