Security Bulletin


Summary

NVIDIA has released an update to address the following vulnerabilities in GPU Display Drivers for Linux and Windows.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID: CVE-2018-6260
DESCRIPTION: NVIDIA graphics driver could allow a local authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a flaw in the GPU performance counters. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information.
CVSS Base Score: 2.2
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/152869 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)

CVEID: CVE-2019-5671
DESCRIPTION: NVIDIA GeForce Windows GPU Display driver is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw in the handler for DxgkDdiEscape in kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys). By sending a specially-crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base Score: 6.5

CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID: CVE-2019-5670
DESCRIPTION: NVIDIA GeForce Windows GPU Display driver could allow a local authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a flaw in the handler for DxgkDdiEscape in kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys). By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code, cause a denial of service condition, gain elevated privileges or obtain sensitive information.
CVSS Base Score: 8.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/157947 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID: CVE-2019-5669
DESCRIPTION: NVIDIA GeForce Windows GPU Display driver is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw in the handler for DxgkDdiEscape in kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys). By sending a specially-crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition, or gain elevated privileges.
CVSS Base Score: 8.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/157946 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID: CVE-2019-5668
DESCRIPTION: NVIDIA GeForce Windows GPU Display driver is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw in the handler for DxgkDdiSubmitCommandVirtual in kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys). By sending a specially-crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition, or gain elevated privileges.
CVSS Base Score: 8.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/157945 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID: CVE-2019-5667
DESCRIPTION: NVIDIA GeForce Windows GPU Display driver could allow a local authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a flaw in the handler for DxgkDdiSetRootPageTable in kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys). By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code, cause a denial of service condition or gain elevated privileges.
CVSS Base Score: 8.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/157944 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID: CVE-2019-5666
DESCRIPTION: NVIDIA GeForce Windows GPU Display driver is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by improper calculating or using an array index in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys). By sending a specially-crafted request, a local authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition, or gain elevated privileges.
CVSS Base Score: 8.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/157943 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID: CVE-2019-5665
DESCRIPTION: NVIDIA GeForce Windows GPU Display driver could allow a local authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by improper handling of hard links in the 3D vision component. By using a specially-crafted file, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code, cause a denial of service condition or gain elevated privileges.
CVSS Base Score: 8.8

PRID 133441. 

Note, a 3rd NVIDIA Display driver fix for Windows Server 2016 is also posted to Fix Central along with these two fixes (for Linux and Windows 2008/2012), but there is not an IBM predecessor fix for this version, noting that the Windows server 2016 fix post-dates the 2014 divestiture,  so that's why it is not included within this Security Bulletin.
