NVIDIA has released a software security update for the NVIDIA GPU Display Driver R390 linux driver branch. This update addresses issues that may lead to denial of service, escalation of privileges, information disclosure, data tampering or undefined behavior.

  • CVE-2022-34670

    NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer handler, where an unprivileged regular user can cause truncation errors when casting a primitive to a primitive of smaller size causes data to be lost in the conversion, which may lead to denial of service or information disclosure.

  • CVE-2022-34674

    NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer handler, where a helper function maps more physical pages than were requested, which may lead to undefined behavior or an information leak.

  • CVE-2022-34675

    NVIDIA Display Driver for Linux contains a vulnerability in the Virtual GPU Manager, where it does not check the return value from a null-pointer dereference, which may lead to denial of service.

  • CVE-2022-34677
