Severity: High Title: NVIDIA binary graphics driver: Privilege escalation vulnerability Date: November 07, 2006 Bugs: #151635 ID: 200611-03

Synopsis ========
The NVIDIA binary graphics driver is vulnerable to a local privilege escalation through an X session.
Background ==========
The NVIDIA binary graphics driver from NVIDIA Corporation provides the kernel module and the GL modules for graphic acceleration on the NVIDIA based graphic cards.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers < 1.0.8776 >= 1.0.8776 < 1.0-8762
Description ===========
Rapid7 reported a boundary error in the NVIDIA binary graphics driver that leads to a buffer overflow in the accelerated rendering functionality.
Impact ======
An X client could trigger the buffer overflow with a maliciously crafted series of glyphs. A remote attacker could also entice a user to open a specially crafted web page, document or X client that will trigger the buffer overflow. This could result in the execution of arbitrary code with root privileges or at least in the crash of the X server.
Workaround ==========
Disable the accelerated rendering functionality in the Device section of xorg.conf : Option "RenderAccel" "false"
Resolution ==========
NVIDIA binary graphics driver users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-1.0.8776"
