CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/171257 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2019-5692
DESCRIPTION: NVIDIA Windows GPU Display driver could allow a local authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by improper input validation in nvlddmkm.sys for DxgkDdiEscape. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain higher privileges on the system.
CVSS Base score: 7.1
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/171258 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2019-5693
DESCRIPTION: Nvidia Windows GPU Display Driver is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by improper use of an uninitialized pointer by nvlddmkm.sys. A local authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/171259 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2019-5694
DESCRIPTION: NVIDIA Control Panel could allow a local authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by improper validation of system DLLs. By creating specially-drafted input, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code execution on the system.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/171260 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2019-5695
DESCRIPTION: NVIDIA GeForce Experience and Windows GPU Display driver could allow a local authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by improper validation of system DLLs. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/171252 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2019-5696
DESCRIPTION: Nvidia Virtual GPU Manager is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by improper bounds checking by a guest VM. A local authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 5.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/171261 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2019-5697
DESCRIPTION: NVIDIA Virtual GPU Manager is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by improper handling of memory allocation. A local authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition or possibly disclose sensitive information.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/171262 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L)
CVEID: CVE-2019-5698
DESCRIPTION: Nvidia Windows GPU Display Driver is vulnerable to a denial of service. A local authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 5.1
