Buffer overflow in the NVIDIA GPU driver before 304.88, 310.x before 310.44, and 313.x before 313.30 for the X Window System on UNIX, when NoScanout mode is enabled, allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a large ARGB cursor.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
