The version of the NVIDIA graphics driver installed on the remote Windows host is 340.x prior to 341.95 or 352.x prior to 354.74. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  • A privilege escalation vulnerability exists due to a kernel driver escape. A local attacker can exploit this to gain unauthorized access to restricted functionality, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2016-2556)

  • An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read error. A local attacker can exploit this to read arbitrary information from memory.
    (CVE-2016-2557)

  • An unspecified untrusted pointer flaw exists that allows a local attacker to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-2558)
