All versions of the NVIDIA GPU Display Driver contain a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer handler where a value passed from a user to the driver is not correctly validated and used in an offset calculation may lead to denial of service or potential escalation of privileges.
The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly.
