Nvidia GPU owners warned about serious driver bugs — update now |

Post by FlyingPenguin »

Usually I'm not eager to jump on to the latest video driver, but it looks like previous versions could get you pwned. They found some serious kernel level exploits.
Bugs CVE-2021-1076 and 1077 both have vulnerabilities in the kernel model layer. In bug 1076, attackers can corrupt data, prevent you using your machine and leak information.
