"A display driver installed on the remote Linux host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including the following:

  - NVIDIA Display Driver for Linux and Windows contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode driver, where an
    attacker could access memory outside bounds permitted under normal use cases. A successful exploit of this
    vulnerability might lead to denial of service, data tampering, or information disclosure. (CVE-2025-23277)

  - NVIDIA Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability where an attacker might cause
    an improper index validation by issuing a call with crafted parameters. A successful exploit of this
    vulnerability might lead to data tampering  or denial of service. (CVE-2025-23278)

  - NVIDIA .run Installer for Linux and Solaris contains a vulnerability where an attacker could use a race
    condition to escalate privileges. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to code execution,
    escalation of privileges, information disclosure, denial of service, or data tampering. (CVE-2025-23279)

Note that Nessus has not attempted to exploit these issues but has instead relied only on the driver's
self-reported version number.");
