NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver contains a vulnerability in the
kernel mode layer handler for DxgkDdiEscape where the software uses a
sequential operation to read or write a buffer, but it uses an
incorrect length value that causes it to access memory that is outside
of the bounds of the buffer which may lead to denial of service or
possible escalation of privileges. (CVE-2018-6248)

NVIDIA GPU Display Driver contains a vulnerability in kernel mode
layer handler where a NULL pointer dereference may lead to denial of
service or potential escalation of privileges. (CVE-2018-6249)

NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver contains a vulnerability in the
kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgkDdiEscape where a
NULL pointer dereference occurs, which may lead to denial of service
or possible escalation of privileges. (CVE-2018-6250)

NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver contains a vulnerability in the
DirectX 10 Usermode driver, where a specially crafted pixel shader can
cause writing to unallocated memory, leading to denial of service or
potential code execution. (CVE-2018-6251)

NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver contains a vulnerability in the
kernel mode layer handler for DxgkDdiEscape where the software allows
an actor access to restricted functionality that is unnecessary for
production usage, and which may result in denial of service.
(CVE-2018-6252)

OpenGL Usermode drivers where a specially crafted pixel shader can
cause infinite recursion leading to denial of service. (CVE-2018-6253)"
