COMPLETE Summary
NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) create context command DDI DxgkDdiCreateContext in which the product uses untrusted input when calculating or using an array index, but the product does not validate or incorrectly validates the index to ensure the index references a valid position within the array, which may lead to denial of service or escalation of privileges.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Overflow Buffers Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.

NASL family Windows NASL id NVIDIA_WIN_2019_05.NASL description The NVIDIA GPU display driver software on the remote Windows host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities: - An unspecified vulnerability exists in the kernel mode layer (nvvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgkDdiEscape due to improper synchronization of shared data. An authenticated, local attacker can exploit this, to cause a denial of service, gain elevated privileges or to disclose potentially sensitive information. (CVE-2019-5675) - A binary planting vulnerability exists due to improper path or signature validation. An authenticated, local attacker can exploit this, via code execution to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2019-5676) - A memory corruption vulnerability exists in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DeviceIoControl. An authenticated, local attacker can exploit this, to cause a denial of service condition.
