Details
| CWE™ CVSS V3 CVE | Description | Base Score | Vector |
|---|---|---|---|
| CVE‑2019‑5690 | NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgkDdiEscape in which the size of an input buffer is not validated, which may lead to denial of service or escalation of privileges. | 7.8 | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
| CVE‑2019‑5691 | NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgkDdiEscape in which a NULL pointer is dereferenced, which may lead to denial of service or escalation of privileges. | 7.8 | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
| CVE‑2019‑5692 | NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgkDdiEscape in which the product uses untrusted input when calculating or using an array index, which may lead to escalation of privileges or denial of service. | 7.1 | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H |
| CVE‑2019‑5693 | NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) in which the program accesses or uses a pointer that has not been initialized, which may lead to denial of service. | 6.5 | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H |
| CVE‑2019‑5694 | NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver contains a vulnerability in NVIDIA Control Panel in which it incorrectly loads Windows system DLLs without validating the path or signature (also known as a binary planting or DLL preloading attack), which may lead to denial of service or information disclosure through code execution. The attacker requires local system access. | 6.5 | AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
| CVE‑2019‑5695 | NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver contains a vulnerability in the local service provider component in which an attacker with local system and privileged access can incorrectly load Windows system DLLs without validating the path or signature (also known as a binary planting or DLL preloading attack), which may lead to denial of service or information disclosure through code execution. | 6.5 | AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
| CVE‑2019‑5696 | NVIDIA Virtual GPU Manager contains a vulnerability in which the provision of an incorrectly sized buffer by a guest VM leads to GPU out-of-bound access, which may lead to a denial of service. | 5.5 | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H |
| CVE‑2019‑5697 | NVIDIA Virtual GPU Manager contains a vulnerability in which it may grant a guest access to memory that it does not own, which may lead to information disclosure or denial of service. | 5.3 | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L |
| CVE‑2019‑5698 | NVIDIA Virtual GPU Manager contains a vulnerability in the vGPU plugin, in which an input index value is incorrectly validated, which may lead to denial of service. | 5.1 | AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H |
The NVIDIA risk assessment is based on an average of risk across a diverse set of installed systems and may not represent the true risk to your local installation. NVIDIA recommends consulting a security or IT professional to evaluate the risk to your specific configuration.
