Synopsis
========

A NVIDIA drivers bug allows unprivileged user-mode software to access
the GPU inappropriately, allowing for privilege escalation.

Background
==========

The NVIDIA drivers provide X11 and GLX support for NVIDIA graphic
boards.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers
                                  < 331.20                *>= 304.116
                                                           *>= 319.76
                                                            >= 331.20

Description
===========

The vulnerability is caused due to the driver allowing unprivileged
user-mode software to access the GPU.

Impact
======

A local attacker could gain escalated privileges.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All NVIDIA Drivers users using the 331 branch should upgrade to the
latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-331.20"

All NVIDIA Drivers users using the 319 branch  should upgrade to the
latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-319.76"

All NVIDIA Drivers users using the 304 branch should upgrade to the
latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-304.116"
