"The NVIDIA GPU display driver software on the remote Linux host is missing a security update. It is, therefore,
affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including the following:

  - NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer where a user could
  cause uncontrolled kernel log generation by repeatedly invoking an interface that emits unrate-limited error
  messages. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to denial of service. (CVE-2026-47568)

  - NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode driver where a
  local user may access another process's GPU channel state due to missing authorization checks. A successful
  exploit of this vulnerability might lead to information disclosure. (CVE-2026-47603, CVE-2026-47604)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported
version number.");
