Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2019-5683
**DESCRIPTION:**Nvidia Windows GPU Display Driver could allow a local authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by a flaw in the user mode video driver trace logger component. By using a specially-crafted hard link, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain elevated privileges, execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service condition on the system.
CVSS Base score: 8.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/164716 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2019-5684
**DESCRIPTION:**Nvidia Windows GPU Display Driver could allow a local authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an out-of-bounds write flaw in DirectX drivers. By using a specially-crafted shader, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service condition on the system.
CVSS Base score: 7.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/164714 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2019-5685
**DESCRIPTION:**Nvidia Windows GPU Display Driver could allow a local authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an out-of-bounds write flaw in DirectX drivers. By using a specially-crafted shader, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service condition on the system.
CVSS Base score: 7.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/164717 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2019-5686
**DESCRIPTION:**Nvidia Windows GPU Display Driver is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgkDdiEscape. By sending a specially-crafted request, a local authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 5.6
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/164718 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2019-5687
**DESCRIPTION:**Nvidia Windows GPU Display Driver could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by improper default permission in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgkDdiEscape. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 5.2
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/164719 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:L)
