For the NVIDIA Quadro, NVS, and GeForce products, NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver R340 before 342.00 and R375 before 375.63 contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgDdiEscape ID 0x10000e9 where a value is passed from an user to the driver is used without validation as the size input to memcpy() causing a stack buffer overflow, leading to denial of service or potential escalation of privileges.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an NVIDIA Windows GPU driver flaw in older Quadro, NVS, and GeForce driver branches. A local user-controlled value can be mishandled inside the kernel driver, causing a crash or potentially letting a local attacker gain higher privileges. Exposure is most likely on Windows workstations, laptops, VDI hosts, or servers with NVIDIA Quadro, NVS, or GeForce GPUs running the affected R340 or R375 driver branches. Current severity data is incomplete in the provided sources. Prioritize remediation where legacy NVIDIA Windows drivers run on shared or high-value systems. The main business concern is local privilege escalation after initial user access, plus possible endpoint disruption. This is not evidenced as actively exploited in the provided sources. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected R340 drivers to 342.00 or later, per vendor guidance.; Upgrade affected R375 drivers to 375.63 or later, per vendor guidance.; Prioritize shared Windows systems, VDI, kiosks, and privileged administrator workstations..
