The NVIDIA GPU display driver software on the remote host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:
Note that Nessus has not tested for the issue but has instead relied only on the applicationโs self-reported version number.

- NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer

APIs, which may lead to denial of service, escalation of privileges, and information disclosure. (CVEรขยย2021รขยย1052)
