NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer handler, where an unprivileged user can cause improper restriction of operations within the bounds of a memory buffer cause an out-of-bounds read, which may lead to denial of service.
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.
The product reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
