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

  - NVIDIA Display Driver for Windows contains a vulnerability where an attacker could trigger a use after 
    free. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to code execution, escalation of privileges, 
    data tampering, denial of service, and information disclosure. (CVE-2025-33217)

  - NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys), 
    where an attacker could cause an integer overflow. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead 
    to code execution, escalation of privileges, data tampering, denial of service, or information 
    disclosure. (CVE-2025-33218)

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