UNKNOWN Summary
The accelerated rendering functionality of NVIDIA Binary Graphics Driver (binary blob driver) For Linux v8774 and v8762, and probably on other operating systems, allows local and remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a large width value in a font glyph, which can be used to overwrite arbitrary memory locations.

NASL family Gentoo Local Security Checks NASL id GENTOO_GLSA-200611-03.NASL description The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200611-03 (NVIDIA binary graphics driver: Privilege escalation vulnerability) Rapid7 reported a boundary error in the NVIDIA binary graphics driver that leads to a buffer overflow in the accelerated rendering functionality. Impact : An X client could trigger the buffer overflow with a maliciously crafted series of glyphs. A remote attacker could also entice a user to open a specially crafted web page, document or X client that will trigger the buffer overflow. This could result in the execution of arbitrary code with root privileges or at least in the crash of the X server.
