NVIDIA GeForce Experience < 3.20.2 Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

high Nessus Plugin ID 133058

Language:

Synopsis

A GPU companion application installed on the remote Windows host is affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability.

Description

The version of NVIDIA GeForce Experience installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 3.20.2. It is, therefore, affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability. An attacker with local system access may be able to exploit this, by corrupting a system file, to gain privileged or administrator access to the system.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update to NVIDIA GeForce Experience version 3.20.2 or later.
