The version of the NVIDIA GPU display driver installed on the remote Windows host is 375.x prior to 376.67 or 378.x prior to 378.52.
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - Multiple overflow conditions exist in the kernel mode     layer handler (nvlddmkm.sys) for DxgkDdiEscape due to a     failure to properly calculate the input buffer size. A     local attacker can exploit these to cause a denial of     service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2017-0308, CVE-2017-0324)

  - Multiple integer overflow conditions exist in the kernel     mode layer handler that allow a local attacker to cause     a denial of service condition or the execution of     arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-0309)

  - A flaw exists in the kernel mode layer handler due to     improper access controls that allows a local attacker to     cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2017-0310)

  - A flaw exists in the kernel mode layer handler due to     improper access controls that allows a local attacker to     cause a denial of service condition or the execution of     arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-0311)

  - An overflow condition exists in the kernel mode layer     handler for DxgDdiEscape ID 0x100008B due to improper     validation of input before setting the limits for a     loop. A local attacker can exploit this to cause a     denial of service condition or potentially gain elevated     privileges. (CVE-2017-0312)

  - Multiple out-of-bounds write flaws exist within the     DxgkDdiSubmitCommandVirtual() function in the kernel     mode layer handler due to improper validation of certain     size and length values. A local attacker can exploit     these to cause a denial of service condition or the     execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-0313,     CVE-2017-0314)

  - A flaw exists in the kernel mode layer handler for     DxgkDdiEscape due to accessing an invalid object     pointer that allows a local attacker to execute     arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-0315)

  - A flaw exists in the NVIDIA GPU and GeForce Experience     Installer due to improper file permissions on the     package extraction path. A local attacker can exploit     this to manipulate extracted files and thereby     potentially gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2017-0317)

  - Multiple flaws exist in the kernel mode layer handler due     to improper handling of unspecified values that allow a     local attacker to cause a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2017-0319, CVE-2017-0320)

  - Multiple NULL pointer dereference flaws exist in the     kernel mode layer handler due to improper validation of     certain input. A local attacker can exploit these to     cause a denial of service condition or potentially     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-0321, CVE-2017-0323)

  - An array-indexing error exists in the kernel mode layer     handler due to improper validation of certain input. A     local attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of     service condition or gain elevated privileges.
    (CVE-2017-0322)
