Synopsis ========
A vulnerability has been discovered in the NVIDIA graphic drivers, allowing for a Denial of Service.
Background ==========
The NVIDIA drivers provide support for NVIDIA graphic boards.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers < 100.14.09 >= 100.14.09 *>= 1.0.9639 *>= 1.0.7185
Description ===========
Gregory Shikhman discovered that the default Gentoo setup of NVIDIA drivers creates the /dev/nvidia* with insecure file permissions.
Impact ======
A local attacker could send arbitrary values into the devices, possibly resulting in hardware damage on the graphic board or a Denial of Service.
Workaround ==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ==========
All NVIDIA drivers users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers"
