Synopsis

A display driver installed on the remote Linux host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of the NVIDIA GPU display driver installed on the remote Linux host is 304.x prior to 304.132, 340.x prior to 340.98, 361.93.x prior to 361.93.03, 367.x prior to 367.55, or 370.x prior to 370.28.
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - A flaw exists in the kernel-mode layer (nvidia.ko) handler related to missing permission checks. A local attacker can exploit this to disclose arbitrary memory contents and gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2016-7382)

 - A flaw exists in the kernel-mode layer (nvidia.ko) handler related to improper memory mapping. A local attacker can exploit this to disclose arbitrary memory contents and gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2016-7389)

Solution

Upgrade the NVIDIA graphics driver to version 304.132 / 340.98 / 361.93.03 / 367.55 / 370.28 or later in accordance with the vendor advisory.
