It was discovered that the NVIDIA graphics drivers incorrectly handled large ARGB cursors. A local attacker could use this issue to gain root privileges.

The NVIDIA graphics drivers have been updated to 304.88 to fix this issue. In addition to the security fix, the updated packages contain bug fixes, new features, and possibly incompatible changes.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
