(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.
  
Workaround :

    Disable the accelerated rendering functionality in the Device section
    of xorg.conf :
    Option      'RenderAccel' 'false'"

The NVIDIA Binary Graphics Driver for Linux is vulnerable to a buffer
overflow that allows an attacker to run arbitrary code as root. This
bug can be exploited both locally or remotely (via a remote X client
or an X client which visits a malicious web page). A working
proof-of-concept root exploit is included with this advisory.

The NVIDIA drivers for Solaris and FreeBSD are also likely to be
vulnerable.

Disabling Render acceleration in the 'nvidia' driver, via the
'RenderAccel' X configuration option, can be used as a workaround for
this issue."
